Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) has stepped up efforts to draw younger and first-time investors into the capital market, hosting a digital engagement session that reached over 5,000 users as part of a broader push to address persistently thin retail participation on the market.
The session, conducted on X Space under the theme “Follow the Fundamentals: A Beginner’s Guide to the Stock Market,” brought together representatives from NGX Limited and NGX Regulation Limited alongside social media investment influencer Omiete Inko-Tariah. The exchange described the audience as largely young Nigerians and retail market participants with limited prior exposure to equity investing.
Head of Group Communications and Partnerships at NGX, Clifford Akpolo, said the initiative was strategic rather than purely educational terms. “Deepening retail participation is critical to building a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable capital market.
At NGX Group, we believe financial literacy is not just an educational responsibility, it is a strategic imperative for strengthening investor confidence, improving market accessibility, and expanding long-term wealth creation opportunities for Nigerians.”
He added that digital platforms were helping the Group connect with younger investors and broaden access to market knowledge. According to the NGX, the initiative forms part of its broader sustainability agenda focused on financial literacy, inclusion, and economic empowerment through education-driven programmes.
NGX Group said it plans to continue similar engagements as part of efforts to strengthen investor confidence and expand retail participation in the Nigerian capital market.
