Stockbrokers Call For Investment In Awareness Creation

The Chartered Institute of
Stockbrokers (CIS) has called on the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari to integrate capital market operations into the entrepreneurial schemes of the government for investment awareness creation.
Speaking to newsmen in Lagos on Monday, Head, Research and Technical, CIS Mr. Arinze Nwobu said many fresh graduates can make a career in the capital market through proper enlightenment.
Nwobu said many of the young graduates could make career in the capital market after their NYSC primary assignment as it will broaden their scope on the capital market operations.
He said the Federal Government has institutionalised entrepreneurial training in the NYSC scheme to enable the fresh graduates develop a new capacity aside from their academic background, stressing that the idea was part of the strategy to promote self employment for the youths by deemphasising dependence on white collar jobs.
He stressed that such investment in education and empowerment would avail fresh graduates more comprehensive exposure to the capital market operations and provide them with the necessary knowledge to take useful decision.
He said many of the fresh graduates lack in-depth information about investment opportunities provided by the capital market.
Nwobu said that serving graduates who had passed through universities and polytechnics are eligible and qualified to explore the benefits and opportunities in the capital market to become stockbrokers, securities analysts, investment bankers and portfolio managers and eventually become future major players in the capital market.
