Similarly, the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) All-Share Index rose from 4,919.51 in 1999 to close at 41,474.40 last week, showing a growth of 743 per cent.

Market operators said the entrenchment of democracy brought  stability in formulation of economic policies that attracted many companies and investments to the  stock market.

They also added that the innovations brought by the current management led by Oscar Onyema, who took over in 2011 have made the market more attractive to companies and investors.

Within three years of  Onyema’s assumption of office, the Nigerian equities appreciated by N4.531 trillion.  Onyema assumed office in April 2011 and by April 2014, the market  grew  by N4.531 trillion, while the NSE All-Share Index grew by about 57 per cent.
