“A share certificate is more than paper, it is ownership, participation and a vote of confidence.” – Temi Popoola, CEO, Nigerian Exchange

Investing is never just a transaction, it is a declaration of belief. Each share represents ownership in the economy and signals trust in its institutions, financial systems and future prospects.

This participation is what builds markets from the ground up. It shapes how businesses grow, how policies evolve and how wealth is created across generations.

For Africa’s young people especially, a single step, opening an investment account can shift their financial future. Through active participation, they not only grow their own wealth but also strengthen the foundations of their economies for future generations.
