Nollywood Superstar actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde on New Year’s Eve
had the honour of ringing the Bell signifying closing of trade at the
Nigerian Stock Exchange for 2015! She is the first Ever female celebrity
to do this.
At the special occasion at the Lagos Bourse, the
stock market responded positively to the presence of one of the Time100
most influential persons in the World . There was a sudden spike at the
Nigerian stock market as the All-Share index moved up greatly by more
than three per cent! For many traders it was a great surprise to see the
market on the rise on the last day of trade and the bigger surprise
with Omotola on the floor.
“We saw oil and gas sector going up. We also saw industrial sector going
up, that’s where Dangote Cement is. We also saw the banking sector,
particularly the First Bank Holding Company go up to over N5. That stock
has been trading for less than N5 for quite some time. So, this is a
positive development,” Charles Fakrogha, a stockbroker said.
While sharing her experience on the floor of the Stock Exchange, Omotola
who came with her last Son 13 yrs old michael Ekeinde and her team said
it was a great, learning experience for her she said
“This will be good for the Entertainment industry .Since we are coming
from the creative sector, many of us may not know much about the
potentials of the capital market but with what ive learned while at the
Bourse, I'm going to be working closely with the Nse to bring my
company for listing at the NSE and encourage other colleagues to look
into the capital market as well.
