On Tuesday, Vice President Sen. Kashim Shettima emphasized the critical role of Nigeria’s capital market in reaching the administration’s goal of a trillion-dollar economy. During a courtesy visit from the Association of Capital Market Academics of Nigeria (ACMAN) led by President Prof. Uche Uwaleke, Shettima remarked, “We are now in a knowledge-driven age; without the skill set, we cannot make much progress. The capital market has a very prominent role to play in pushing us to the one trillion-dollar economy. With your intellect, experience, and the quality of your membership that counts—not in numbers—we can achieve our objective.”

Shettima praised the efforts of capital market experts and underscored their significant contributions to economic transformation. In recognition of his support, the Vice President was honored with the Fellowship of Capital Market Academics, the highest membership status of the association.
