The Nigerian Capital Market in an Era of Privatisation

Vision, 1997, vol. 1, issue 2, 45-54

Abstract: The Nigerian Capital Market achieved a significant growth during the period of privatisation (1988-1993). Through the process of privatisation, a large volume of shares was transferred from government to individual and institutional investors. The shares were offered for sale through the capital market either by placement or quotation at the Stock Exchange. As a result, the capital market expanded in terms of facilities and activities as shown by various indicators. In the same period, Nigeria entred the global equity market as one of the emerging capital markets in the world. It also became one of only four African capital markts to be so acknowledged. Despite these encouraging developments, its potentials for enhancing economic growth and development are yet to be fully exploited. In view of this, policy recomendations have been proffered to further enhance the capital market in readiness for its role in economic growth and development.
