FG inaugurates new board for Nigeria Commodity Exchange
The federal government has inaugurated the newly reconstituted governing board of the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCX).
In a post on X on Wednesday, Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Investment, described the exchange as “a key catalyst for enhancing price discovery, improving market transparency, and driving the expansion of non-oil exports.”
She added: “The new board will provide the strategic oversight required to fully operationalize the Exchange, strengthen accountability, and attract vital investment – positioning Nigeria more competitively within regional and global value chains. I congratulate the new members on their appointments to these pivotal roles.”
The newly approved board members include Najah Muhammed, Bamidele Hussein, Mezuo Nwuneli, Obi Igwe, Foluso Ayo-Olaiya (all non-executive directors), and Anthony Atuche, who will serve as managing director.
On April 2, President Bola Tinubu approved the appointment of Dalhatu Abubakar as chairman of the NCX, alongside members of its governing board, completing the reconstitution of the exchange’s leadership.
