NGX Group Market Capitalisation Soars 37.7% to ₦141.75 Trillion as Investor Confidence Deepens
The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) has posted a remarkable 37.7 per cent surge in market capitalisation, rising to ₦141.75 trillion as of September 2025 from ₦102.94 trillion recorded during the same period in 2024. This milestone underscores renewed investor confidence and reflects the Group’s strategic focus on innovation, technology, and sustainability.
Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Temi Popoola, attributed the impressive performance to the growing synergy between Nigeria’s capital markets and the communities they serve. “For us at NGX Group, building strong capital markets goes hand in hand with building strong communities, because inclusive growth and social well-being are the true foundations of a resilient economy,” Popoola said.
In pursuit of that inclusive growth, the NGX Group has continued to deepen its social impact through Project BLOOM (Bringing Life to Our Overlooked Minors). Implemented in partnership with the Lagos State Government and the Health Emergency Initiative, the programme has supported over 200 children and 180 caregivers in underserved communities such as Ajegunle and Yaba, providing therapeutic food, medical care, and nutrition education.
On the innovation front, the Group’s digital investment platform, NGX Invest, has revolutionized access to the market by enabling corporates to raise over ₦2 trillion in capital. The platform has made public offers and rights issues more accessible to retail investors across Nigeria, driving greater market inclusivity and participation.
Further strengthening its sustainability agenda, NGX Group has advanced its Nzero initiative, which helps listed companies measure, report, and reduce carbon emissions in alignment with global standards. Popoola emphasized that the Group’s commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles continues to bolster transparency, investor trust, and long-term market growth. “We are judged not just by the wealth we help create but by how widely that wealth is shared and how sustainably it is generated,” he added.
