NSE committed to sustainable, inclusive economy – Onyema

By on September 29, 2015

The Nigerian Stock Exchange has reiterated its commitment to providing a platform for sustainable growth and development in the African economy.

The NSE’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Oscar Onyema, said this after the Exchange received the ‘Best corporate Social Responsibility Award’ at the 2015 African Business Awards, a statement by the Exchange said.

According to the statement, the award, which was held in New York last week, is designed to celebrate excellence in African business by recognising the individuals and companies that are driving Africa’s rapidly transforming economy and creating new economic opportunities for citizens and communities all over the continent.

Onyema was quoted as saying, “The NSE is devoted to taking a leading role in creating a more sustainable and inclusive economy for our stakeholders. Sustainability is a critical component of our business strategy.

It is about responsible and inclusive investment services, increasing opportunity, preserving resources, improving lives, creating jobs and meeting the needs of the various stakeholders that we serve.

“We will continue to leverage our CSR platforms to share how, through efficient utilisation of resources and support of our committed employees and partners, we are transforming lives and communities.”

The Managing Director of IC Publications and Group Publisher of African Business magazine, Mr. Omar Yedder, was quoted as saying, “It is encouraging to read the many achievements that are taking place all over the continent, despite the headwinds and difficult global environment.

“The continent continues to be blessed with some remarkable individuals, who are driven and relentless in their ambitions to playing a transformative role.

“The calibre of entries is very high and continues to reflect and recognise Africa’s outstanding individuals and businesses. These entries are assessed by a judging panel of renowned individuals who are chosen for their expertise on the African Business Industry, with scores based on a set of qualitative and quantitative criteria.”
