Ex-Vice President,His Excellency Prof. Yemi Osinbajo delivered a brilliant, most thought-provoking keynote address that set the tone for an inspiring day. The event featured a series of engaging panel discussions that explored critical themes from Arunma’s book:Exemplary leadership,Leveraging female leadership,Unleashing Africa’s potential,Sustainability and Capital markets.

Prof Osibanjo  had the privilege of sharing brief remarks alongside Cecilia Akintomide, Aishah Ahmad and Morin Desalu on the topic, “How Can Women Contribute to Building a Better Global Society?”

Delivering his Goodwill Message  at the event, Alh (Dr) Umaru KWAIRANGA, Chairman of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX) Board on the occasion of the 60th Birthday of Arunma OTEH, OON, the former Director-General/CEO of the Nigeria Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom said .’ I first met Ms Oteh when she was appointed as the Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in that position superintended over me as a Capital Market Operator and a prominent member of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. In that position, Arunma Oteh was firm but friendly and led initiatives that helped the Nigerian capital market climb out of the 2009/2010 financial crisis. The reforms that she led have put our market on a stronger footing.

I can say with confidence as the current Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group that the Nigerian capital market is stronger and more resilient and not likely to witness that type of crash in the future, all thanks to Ms Oteh and the able regulators that have followed in her stead.

Apart from her tenure as the Director-General (DG) of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria, Arunma Oteh has served as Treasurer and Vice President at the African Development Bank and the World Bank and is now embarking on an academic career at the Oxford University.
