Capital Market Solicitors Association Elects Mr. Benjamin Obidegwu as its Chairman, alongside other executives, for a two year tenure.
“Investors confidence as at today regarding the Capital Market, is very low. As the Chairman of the Capital Markets Solicitors Association, together with my executives, I will see how we can work closely with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other Market operators to see how we can renew investors’ confidence,” says Mr. Benjamin Obidegwu. “I will also work closely with the Securities and Exchange Commission to see that the role of Capital Market Solicitors is not diminished but rather made to be more prominent. I will also ensure that Capital Market Solicitors are adequately remunerated.”
