Despite the weak macro-economic condition in the country, coupled with challenges in the foreign exchange market, Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian Stock Exchange, NSE, Mr. Oscar Onyema, yesterday said that Nigeria remained the preferred investment destination in Africa.

He made the remarks at the second dual listing conference organised by NSE in conjunction with the London Stock Exchange Group, LSEG, in Lagos.

He said owing to the critical role the capital market plays in sustaining economic growth, it behoves the Federal Government to leverage opportunities in the stock exchange to unlock the potentials in the economy.
