UNIZIK's Centre for Capital Market Teams Up with Commission to Supercharge SME Growth

The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) fully supports the forthcoming conference and workshop aimed at leveraging capital market opportunities for the development of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and promoting investment sustainability. The event is set to take place in May 2025.

This advancement represented an important landmark for Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) in Awka, with its Centre for Capital Market Studies spearheading efforts to boost financial literacy, increase market involvement, and improve access to capital for small and medium-sized enterprises nationwide.

The Nigerian Tribune has learned that stakeholders, industry professionals, scholars, and business owners are anticipated to join this pioneering gathering.

A letter sent to the director of the Centre for Capital Market Studies, Professor Chinedu Onyeizugbe at SEC Nigeria, praised the center’s dedication to financial education and inclusiveness. The missive highlighted how the workshop aligns with the commission’s overarching objectives.

The letter, penned by Executive Commissioner for Operations Bola Ajomale on behalf of SEC Director General Dr. Emomotimi John Agama, conveyed the commission's excitement about collaborating and promised their active involvement in the event.

Regarding this significant collaboration, Professor Onyeizugbe, along with his deputy director, Professor Promise Oparah, confirmed the center’s commitment to working hand-in-hand with SEC. They expressed their determination to organize an exceptional event aimed at both educating SMEs and linking them to enduring investment prospects.

He emphasized that "this initiative’s success would not have been achievable without the forward-thinking guidance of the acting vice chancellor at Nnamdi Azikiwe University in Awka, Professor Joseph Ifeanyichukwu Ikechebelu. His backing has fostered an atmosphere conducive to significant research and outstanding academic achievement."

His faith in the Centre’s guidance has bolstered UNIZIK’s standing as a focal point for innovation and economic growth.
