He said “It is also an opportunity for investors to attend and resolve issues with their investments, make inquiries, mandate their e-dividend accounts and also directly engage with the capital market players (Stock Brokers, Registrars and Fund Managers).
“We will be meeting with investors during the COS Conference in Ibadan and stock brokers will be on the ground to open stock brokerage accounts, registrars will be available to resolve unclaimed dividend issues and mandate accounts for e-dividend. Fund Managers will also be on the ground to open/manage investment accounts and our staff will also be around to attend to enquiries from investors.” Agama implored investors to take advantage of the opportunity to resolve every pending investment issue they have and also meet with investment advisers for proper guidance.
He assured investors of enjoyable investment education, saying “It will be an exciting and enlightening two days for the investing public and younger participants. We encourage everyone to key into our programmes to become better equipped for making wise and informed investment decisions.”
