NGX Group blends market growth with social impact
Nigerian Exchange Group fed 200 malnourished children in Lagos through a nutrition program that combines business efficiency with community health work. Group Managing Director Temi Popoola said market institutions must address social problems that weaken the economy, as nearly half the treated children showed recovery within seven weeks of receiving therapeutic food and medical care.
The exchange operator raised over 2 trillion naira for companies through its digital investment platform while expanding access for small investors across the country. Market value climbed 37.7 percent to 141.75 trillion naira by September 2025 as transparency and technology attracted more participants from different regions and income levels.
The company launched climate initiatives that help listed firms measure and reduce carbon emissions. Popoola said more than 50 employees volunteered at health screenings in underserved neighborhoods where the exchange partnered with government agencies and nonprofit organizations to deliver medical services and nutrition education to families.
