Experts to examine prospects, risks ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 polls at Q4 master class

Experts in the Nigerian financial markets will gather virtually via Zoom on Saturday, October 3, 2026 for the 2026 fourth quarter Master Class where they would brainstorm on the potentials and risks facing the nation’s economy and equities’ market ahead of the year-end, and the 2027 general elections that begin in January.

The Master Class with the theme: “The NGX- New Opportunities with volatility and risk trading,” driven by the quartet of Alhaji Garba Kurfi, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of APT Securities & Funds Ltd; Dr. Sylvester Anaba, Head, Research, United Capital Plc, Abdul-Rasheed Oshoma Momoh, Executive Director, Operations at TRW Stockbrokers Ltd; and the convener, Ambrose Omordion, Chief Research Officer, Investdata Consulting Ltd.

Mallam Kurfi will take participants through “The Profitable Trading & Investing Strategies To Play NGX For The Rest 2026 And Beyond;” Momoh will speak to “Election Cycle & Patterns On The NGX: How To Trade Profitably & Protect Capital”; while “How To Position & Pick Smart Money Stocks In Q4 And Post Election Rally,” be handled by Dr Anaba. On his part, Omordion will speak on “Straightforward Sell Or Hold Techniques To Handle & Manage Winning Stocks On NGX.”

The 2026Q4 Master Class, according to Omordion, was put together to help particpants “identify and buy quality fundamental stocks, avoid those needless losses and build a profitable portfolio with high ROI after the election.”

Volatility or market corrections are not losses, he noted, but market repricing dynamics, such that “when the market corrects or pullback, quality companies that were expensive become affordable with fundamentals remaining intact. That is where long-term wealth starts. Add political risk to that and you get two things: fear and opportunity.”

Fear, he continued, “makes people sell first and ask questions later. Opportunity shows up because prices drop below business value and discerning market players buy. In Nigeria, political cycles always create volatility. But they also create entry points. Money doesn’t leave the market forever. It rotates. It waits for clarity, then it rushes back in. So the playbook is simple: Use the correction to build a watchlist of strong companies with real earnings and dividends. Use political risk to buy in phases or Naira cost Averaging, not all at once.

“Scale in as uncertainty peaks. The investors who do well in the NGX are not the ones who avoid corrections and politics. They are the ones who use both to buy quality at a discount. Every correction ends. Political cycles end too. Position now ahead of sentiment flips,” he further added, noting that the Master Class is an opportunity for participants to learn “how to safely navigate the financial market in today’s trading and changing investment environment that is clouded with uncertainties, noise and surprises that are driving the volatile markets across the globe plus the election that is close?  Despite these headwinds, discerning investors and smart traders on the NGX are positioning for high profits with practical strategies of effective combination of fundamentals, technicals and sentiment analysis.”

The InvestData Q4 last Master Class, he further assured, will teach participants exact steps in real time using the new strategies by following the current volatility as the election gets closer.

Among others, the Investdata boss assured that participants at the Master Class will learn how to hedge against inflation and preserve capital in sectors and industry with the potential to drive profit that will support equity prices; sentiment and technical analyses have helped many trader succeed in this highly volatile market environment; and how to filter market noise and identify the most opportune time to join any trade.
