The Federal Ministry of Finance has been tasked by President Tinubu with spearheading efforts to create a robust capital market that drives economic growth and supports national development.
This directive was disclosed by the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, during a weekend meeting with the board of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Abuja.
Dr. Uzoka-Anite noted that the Tinubu administration is committed to leveraging the capital market as a key driver in achieving its economic agenda, including the ambition of growing Nigeria into a $1 trillion economy.
“If we are to achieve the Renewed Hope mandate of a $1 trillion economy, it has to be through the capital market. It has to be private-sector-driven, and this private-sector drive is the capital market,” Uzoka-Anite said.
She stressed the government’s resolve to strengthen the capital market to attract investors, enhance resilience, and restore investor confidence.
The Minister also assured the SEC board of the Federal Government’s unwavering support in enabling the Commission to fully realise its potential to drive economic transformation and wealth creation for Nigerians.
