Nigeria’s Capital Market Future Unfolds at CIS 2025 Conference in Abuja

Digital innovation and global competitiveness in Nigeria’s capital market will take centre stage as the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS) hosts its flagship event, the Annual Stockbrokers’ Conference in Abuja.

Themed, “Capital Markets in a Digital, Ethical, and Sustainable Era: Charting Pathways for Economic Transformation,” this year’s conference, CIS said, will gather top government officials, regulators, market operators, investors, and international experts to explore how Nigeria’s capital market must evolve to power long-term economic growth.

“Digital innovation is changing how capital is mobilized and invested. Ethical governance is now a must-have for building trust. And sustainability is no longer optional. It’s essential for long-term resilience. 

“This convergence comes at a pivotal moment as Nigeria sets its sights on becoming a $1 trillion economy. The capital market must be at the forefront of that transformation.” said Bashir Adewale, Chairman of the Annual Conference Committee.

CIS 1st Vice President, Fiona Ahimie, emphasised the Institute’s commitment to attracting and empowering the next generation of capital market professionals.

“Succession and sustainability are critical to our future. We’re using this year’s conference to engage directly with students and young professionals, opening their eyes to career paths in stockbroking, investment banking, asset management, and more,” said Ahimie.
