The body that governs the Nigeria Stock Exchange is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Clearing, Settlement and Delivery of transactions on The Nigeria Stock Exchange are done electronically by the Central Securities Clearing System Limited (CSCS), a subsidiary of The Nigeria Stock Exchange. The CSCS Limited (“the Clearing House”) was incorporated in 1992 as part of the effort to make the Nigeria stock market more efficient and investor-friendly. Apart from clearing, settlement and delivery, the CSCS Limited offers custodian services.
Charges included in all transactions are a 3% commission on the traded value of shares and a 1% Securities and Exchange Commission fee. Withholding tax on dividend and interest remains at 10%; corporate income tax, 35%, capital gains tax, 10%.
The Nigeria Stock exchange is presently headed by a Director-General in the person of Dr Mrs Ndi Okereke-onyiuke.
Every business has its hurdles, so does stock marketing. We won’t promise you a gold mine, but we assure you of a mine, dig well and you will find gold. The type of gold only stock marketing can guarantee.
