The Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) has set up the NGX Digital and Technology Products Advisory Panel as it advances its digital transformation agenda.
The NGX said this in a statement issued by Mr. Clifford Akpolo, Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at the NGX, on Tuesday in Lagos.
The Panel’s aim is to provide a forum for the Exchange to interact with the capital market community and the fintech ecosystem to enhance and increase NGX’s digital product offerings.
Mr. Clifford Akpolo explains further in the statement that the responsibilities of the panel include but are not limited to providing insight into product innovation and proposing ways to increase technology listings on NGX; recommending ways to boost data and digital market liquidity; providing thought leadership by developing whitepapers, creating frameworks, and making recommendations; and a host of advisory matters like market trends, risks and sentiments.
The NGX’s Chief Digital Officer, Dr. Olufemi Oyenuga, stated that the exchange is committed to leveraging both innovation and technology in order to transform the exchange into a leading force of product development in the capital market, and he also stated the purpose of the panel, which is to “explore new frontiers, pool groundbreaking ideas and strategies, and unlock exciting opportunities for the future addressing creativity, innovation, and sustainability.”
Appointed to the panel are Tope Kola-Oyeneyin of McKinsey, Iyin Aboyeji of Future Africa, Kola Aina of Ventures Platform, Idris Saliu of Ceviant, Fope Adelowo of Helios Group, Richmond Bassey of Bamboo, Tayo Oviosu of Paga, Wale Ayeni of the International Finance Corporation, Ahmad Zuaiter of Jadara Capital Partners LLC, and Adedeji O.
RateCaptain believes that this initiative taken on by NGX is one step closer to creating an environment that encourages growth through collaboration between various teams while also fostering creative problem-solving skills among its staff members—something many other organizations should take note of when looking at ways they too can stay ahead of the curve when it comes to staying relevant amidst changing times! As such, we look forward to seeing what kind of success stories come out of this venture down the road.
