President Goodluck Jonathan in his first time visit to the Nigerian Stock Exchange has said a new director-general will be appointed for the Securities and Exchange Commission by April.
Following the expiration of the five-year tenure of Ms. Arunma Oteh as SEC DG on January 7, 2015, Mr. Mounir Gwarzo was appointed as the acting DG for the commission, a position he holds till date.
President Jonathan however pointed out that it was not proper for the commission to be without a full DG for too long, adding that the appointment would be announced before the end of April.
“I don’t want someone to act for too long,” he said in answer to a question.
Although he said there was the need to appoint a competent person with the depth of knowledge and experience as the DG, he called on capital market stakeholders to make input into the selection process by suggesting capable hands.
“I don’t have anyone in mind, if you know anyone then suggest them to me,” he said.
Jonathan also assured the stakeholders of his support for the development of the country’s private sector.
The president, who formally inaugurated the Exchanges’ new trading platform and rang the closing bell, promised that his government would continue to work closely with private sector.
