Speaking during the ceremony, the chief executive officer, NGX, Mr Temi Popoola, emphasised that the late Subomi Balogun was a blessing to the capital market.

“We are here to pay tribute to somebody that without him, we really cannot talk about our markets and I am sure that there are many careers here that he helped shaped and mine is a good example. “We cannot express our gratitude to him enough for what he did to help our industry expand. It is difficult to locate another family in Nigeria like the Subomis that can represent on the Exchange as they doing now. We are very grateful and we assure them that they can count on our support going forward as the family continues to drive their strategic goals,” Popoola said.
