 The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, CIBN, says it is ready to collaborate with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nigerian Exchange Group to enforce compliance and banks to conform to listing and regulatory rules. The president and chairman of the Council, Bayo Ulugemi, said this during the digital closing gong ceremony of the trading activities of the NGX, which held in Lagos recently, while commending the new management of the exchange after its demutualization, Ulugemi said it corroborates the exchange's vision of being Africa's preferred exchange hub. He noted that the exchange's market capitalization, which increased geometrically from 12.97 trillion naira in 2019 to 21.06 trillion naira in 2020 and the increase in trade volumes by 280 percent points to the fact that the efforts put in place by the management of the NGX had been an upgrade. We also want to commend the exchange on its intervention with the COVID-19 pandemic, which has helped to cushion the effect of the scourge on individuals and corporations. We know that you had a lot of waivers and you also did a lot on CSR. We want to also commend the exchange for launching exchange-traded derivatives as NG-Clearly Limited, which has received a primary principle from the Securities and Energy Commission to launch clearing and settlement of exchange-traded derivative rules as Nigeria's premier central counterparty, Clearly or CCP. I also want to thank you, just like I've mentioned, for the Accordion of the S-Academy by CIBA.
