CHAPTER ONE
- INTRODUCTION
The ideal of a stock exchange for Nigeria came into being from the report of Prof. R.H. Barback committee set up by the colonial administration and published in 1958. The committee recommended the following.
- The creation of facilities for dealing shares.
- The establishment of rules regulating transfer of shares.
- Measures to encourage savings and issue of securities of government and other organization.
In May 1959,the Central Bank of Nigerian floated the first federation of Nigeria. Development wan stock of N4m on behalf of the government, as there was no formal stock market. The Central Bank had to introduce a central registry for matching buyers and sellers and suggesting prices at which deals took place. On 15th September 1960 the Lagos stock Exchange was incorporated under section 2, cap 37 as a limited liability company. The exchange began operation on the 5th day of June 1961 following the passage into law of the stock exchange Act of 1961: The exchange was subsequently re-organized and transformed into the Nigerian stock exchange in 1977.
In Nigeria, as indeed on other national, the industrial sector is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy and so a steady and sufficient supply of resource is the foundation for a healthy operation of the economy. It therefore seems appropriate to examine the stock exchange since many people don’t really have a correct conception of the nature of this institution which has come to mean so much for the modern capitalist economy system.
However, the tremendous impact of the stock exchange on the capital formation, investment and ultimately on the promotion, well being and prosperity of the economy makes it today a vital component of the total strategy for promoting national economic development. That is why it is necessary to familiarize the public with the essence, the mechanics and potentialities of the unique and vital institution within the economy.
The stock exchange in the course of its operation aids in the mobilization of capital for pursing economic expansion and for creating goods and services for the general citizenry. The extent to which this institution fulfils or performs these roles must however surely depend on the particular circumstance of the exchange. This study is aimed at examining activities of the stock exchange in Nigeria and determining activities of the stock exchange in Nigeria and determining to what extent it has achieved it’s overall goals given the total environment on which it operate.
- STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The impact of the sock exchange in the mobilization of capital has not been sufficiently felt. A lot of factors have been said to contribute to this inactivity. For instance, it is clear that many Nigeria investors engage in “buy and hold” article towards security accusation in the market. In other words, this native investors buy shares and just dump their share certificate as assets in spite of whether the company is performing well or not and yet the stock market reports, summarizing the Nigerian stock exchange official list showing the major activities on the stock market are published weekly, on some Nigeria newspapers.
However, majority of this group of investors have been identified as those who lack financial literacy and cannot make dynamic and viable investment decision.
Again, lack of awareness of the existences of the market is another major factor. This has been attributed to inadequacy of the infrastructural facilities to drive home this points.
The listing requirements of the stock exchange, it has been argued seem to stringent to many small and medium scale enterprises. The result is that either the facilities which are offered by the market has eluded these firms or that the resources which could have been tapped by the market from potential investors have escaped the market because they are not aware.
- OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The objective or purpose of this research among other things is to appraise the extent to which the Nigeria stock Exchange is achieving its major goals in the face of various constraints both internally and externally, and especially review its performance in the light of the privatization and commercialization exercise of the federal government.
This study also aoms at exposing the nature investors to some techniques of analysis of financial statement to enable them participate actively or be able to follow closely the operations, the stock exchange especially on the areas of speculation and decision making on investment.
The researcher sets his mind towards investigating and critically analyzing the above problem and its cause to see it that the efficiency of the market is improved upon and that the general public will benefit immensely from this research.
- PROPOSITION
The following propositions have been developed around which this research would revolve.
- The stock exchange has not live up to expectation on its function of mobilizing capital to finance industrial and commercial ventures.
- Few companions are listed because the listing requirements are stringent.
- RESEARCH QUESTION
The data needed will be gathered from both primary and secondary sources.
The primary source consist of oral interviews with workers on the stock exchange and some financial analysis and also from personal observations of the stock exchange and reference journal or some financial institution.
