NGX Group Market Capitalisation Soars 37.7% to ₦141.75 Trillion Amid Rising Investor Confidence
The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) has reported a significant 37.7% growth in its market capitalisation, climbing to ₦141.75 trillion as of September 2025 from ₦102.94 trillion recorded in the same period last year. This remarkable performance underscores renewed investor confidence and the Exchange’s commitment to innovation and sustainable growth within Nigeria’s capital market.
Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Temi Popoola, attributed the impressive rise to NGX’s strategic focus on technology-driven market solutions and its deep connection with the communities it serves. “For us at NGX Group, building strong capital markets goes hand in hand with building strong communities,” Popoola said. “Inclusive growth and social well-being are the true foundations of a resilient economy.”
In pursuit of this mission, the Group has strengthened its social responsibility efforts through Project BLOOM (Bringing Life to Our Overlooked Minors) — a flagship initiative launched in collaboration with the Lagos State Government and the Health Emergency Initiative. The project has reached over 200 children and 180 caregivers in underserved communities such as Ajegunle and Yaba, providing therapeutic food, healthcare, and nutrition education.
The Exchange is also driving inclusivity through its digital investment platform, NGX Invest, which has empowered corporates to raise over ₦2 trillion in capital. By simplifying access to public offers and rights issues, the platform is enabling more retail investors nationwide to participate in wealth creation through the capital market.
Beyond financial growth, NGX is advancing its sustainability and climate action goals through the Nzero Initiative, which helps listed companies measure, report, and reduce their carbon emissions in line with global standards. Popoola reaffirmed that NGX’s emphasis on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles continues to strengthen market transparency and long-term investor confidence. “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 said.
