The stage is being set for the first-ever Nairametrics Capital Market Choice Awards, an event that seeks to recognize and honour key participants in Nigeria’s capital market who have fostered investor confidence, enhanced market efficiency, and contributed to financial deepening in Nigeria.
Slated to hold on May 23, 2025, at The Banquet Hall, Civic Center, Lagos, the evening will shine the spotlight on 60 nominees from 20 categories, of which 20 winners will emerge and 5 honorary awards will be bestowed.
What to look out for
From recognizing the company that has delivered the highest returns to its shareholders, demonstrating exceptional financial performance, profitability, and shareholder value creation, to honouring the most significant merger or acquisition deal, factoring financial value, impact on stakeholders, and execution efficiency, the NCMA 2025 is one event to look out for.
Still in recognizing the company that has delivered the highest returns to its shareholders, the awards will shine the spotlight on the vast landscape of the capital market to cover banks, insurance companies, consumer goods companies, industrial goods companies, utilities and infrastructure companies, energy companies and diversified companies.
Additionally, the awards will recognize the company that has consistently rewarded its shareholders with strong and sustainable dividend pay-outs. Also, the most outstanding stockbroking firm based on trading volume, transaction value, research contributions, and technological innovation will be identified and honoured.
Technological innovations are not left out as the NCMA 2025 will acknowledge the stock market mobile application that offers the best user experience, affordability, and accessibility to retail investors.
Worthy of note in the NCMA 2025 is the recognition of a government or regulatory policy that has had the most significant influence on the capital market, driving growth, investment, and market expansion.
All these and more are the line-up of the maiden Nairametrics Capital Market Choice Awards.
