President Bola Tinubu has made history as the first African president to have the honour of ringing the closing bell at the world’s second largest stock exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System (NASDAQ).
Presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
NASDAQ is an online public marketplace for trading stock. It is an index of approximately 5,000 stocks that predominantly includes large technology and biotechnology corporations.
Surrounded by Nigerian business leaders and officials of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, the President seized the opportunity to boldly advance his foreign investment push.
“It’s a great honour for me to be here. I am happy to bring Nigeria to your doorsteps and I am honoured that we are here today with a bubbling Nigerian stock market that will evolve in the West African sub-region.”
