The X-lit session is themed “Soldering Wealth: X-Lit’s Exclusive Insights for the Nigerian Military,” The event happened on Thursday, December 7, at the Nigeria Armed Forces Resettlement Centre. In the event, soldiers were educated on how to access and invest in the market with technology, including the launch of the NGX USSD Code.

Addressing the importance of the event, Irene Robinson-Ayanwale, Divisional Head, Business Support Services and General Counsel, NGX, noted that NGX launched the X-Lit initiative to push the market closer to retail investors, of which many retiring military officers are part.

She said,
  • That is why we themed this campaign ‘Closer to You’ further to deepen our market's retail investors pool. We will roll this out across the country and reach out to more demographics, including youths, market women, and others.
