The NSE currently offers ad-hoc training for all external audiences—market operators and investors who show interest in knowing more about the Exchange and the Nigerian capital market. Although this is not one of the exchange’s primary services, it is an important requirement, given the role the Exchange plays in the capital market. By enabling the acquisition of knowledge and skills, the Exchange is investing in specific useful competencies that will positively impact on the growth of the capital market.
