The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria has called for the support of the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the operators in the stock market in the quest to showcase investment opportunities in Nigeria.
CIBN President, Prof. Segun Ajibola, made the appeal during a courtesy visit of the council to the management of the NSE.
Ajibola said, “We are looking up to the operators in the capital market to assist us in convincing the whole world about the importance of investing in the Stock Exchange.”
He explained that the 22nd edition of the World Conference of Banking Institute to be hosted by Nigeria in April next year would be a good opportunity to showcase the country’s potentials, adding that It would be an opportunity to showcase the investment
opportunities in the country and to correct certain wrong impressions about Nigeria.
“We believe that by the time the world comes here in April next year, we would be able to present Nigeria to the world. At the end of that conference, we believe we would see an increase in foreign investments in the country,” he said. While speaking on the activities
of the CIBN in the economy, Ajibola said that the institute was mandated to play some critical roles in the Nigerian state.
He pointed out that for the financial services industry, the CIBN played advocacy role
for all stakeholders and had been promoting ethics and professionalism among bankers.
