Forbes Enlists Oscar Onyema, NSE Boss, In “10 Most Powerful Men In Africa” List by lalasticlala(m): 5:30pm On Mar 24, 2015

The Nigerian All Share Index is down 15.3% year to date and was one of the worst performing stock exchanges last year. However, that was not enough to stop the NSE Boss Oscar Onyema from being included in the Forbes list of top ten Most Powerful men in Africa. Here is how Forbest describes him:

As a testament to his contributions to the capital markets in Nigeria, in 2014, Oscar Onyema, Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, was made an Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) in “recognition of his contribution to economic development, the transformation of The Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Nigerian capital markets”. With the Nigerian bourse taking a beating in recent months; the total market capitalization of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, valued at 19.08 trillion Naira ($119.41 billion USD) in 2013, dropped to 16.88 trillion Naira ($90.68 billion USD) at the end of 2014, a decrease of 11.53% in Naira terms, Onyema has had to work in overdrive to restore investor confidence in one of Africa’s largest capital markets.

According to Forbes the list recognizes Africa’s top men leading in the continent’s change and transformation. It is interesting to note that no other Nigerian made that list except Oscar. Oscar has for years been pushing to take Nigerian stock exchange to the $1trillion mark. However, since he became the boss about 4 years ago, the market cap of the exchange has not crossed $100b way short of his target $1trillion. All the same, we say congrats to him

For him mind

Modified* as far as I am concerned he is not powerful, he can be removed at anytime, true power is when you give the president sleepless night a la Buhari and Tinubu

There's nothing surprising or special about him being on the list of most powerful people in Africa.

This is not an achievement, given the size & influence of the NSE in Africa, it's only normal that his name is on the list.

Call me when he cracks the world top 10..... Perhaps in 500 years time.

Re: Forbes Enlists Oscar Onyema, NSE Boss, In “10 Most Powerful Men In Africa” List by Deltagiant: 6:02pm On Mar 24, 2015

Yes, Op, all the same you have no choice than to congratulate him.
The reason Forbes recognized him is in part due to the fact that there are certain global market precipitations that are beyond any human control.
Oscar is doing a great job under the circumstances surrounding him.

Oguta Obodo girigiri!

kudos to him. I like the way he has gone about his job with minimum of fuss unlike when Okereke-Onyiuke was the boss of the NSE. That fat woman was mixing politics with her job and it finally led to her downfall. Its not all about making noise in the newspapers. Sometimes it's better to just keep your head down and get on with your job.

Oscar Onyema among 10 Africa most powerful men. It is ridiculous. After he has collaborated with the CBN governor and Ngozi Okonji Iweala in making Aliko Dangote loose half of his fortune due to the unending nosediving of the Nigeria currency.
