Nairametrics Announces Second Capital Market Awards to Be Held in Lagos

To strengthen its engagement with Nigeria’s capital market ecosystem amid a surge in investor activity, Nairametrics will host the second edition of the Capital Market Awards.

Under the theme “Capital Markets as a Pathway to Responsible Wealth Creation,” the awards will honour individuals and institutions that have made significant contributions to the growth and stability of Nigeria’s capital market over the past year.

Founder and Chief Analyst Ugo Obi‑Chukwu said the event comes at a pivotal moment for the market. “The second edition of the Nairametrics Capital Market Awards reflects our continued commitment to contributing meaningfully to the development of Nigeria’s capital market,” he said. “This is particularly significant at a time when we are witnessing a resurgence in retail investor participation—now at levels not seen in over two decades.”

He added that the renewed interest places a greater responsibility on stakeholders to sustain investor confidence, deepen transparency, and reinforce market integrity.

While the awards recognise excellence, Nairametrics emphasises that the initiative also serves as a platform to highlight achievements in value creation, corporate governance, and innovation across the market.

The programme is expected to spotlight players who drive measurable impact and set benchmarks for industry performance.

This year’s awards will feature 25 categories, including honorary recognitions for individuals whose contributions have significantly shaped the development of the capital market.

The event will take place on 5 June 2026 at the Civic Centre in Lagos, bringing together a cross‑section of market participants, including operators, regulators, institutional investors, and other key stakeholders.
