On Wednesday, 24 June 2026, a high-level delegation from the Capital Market Authority (CMA) Rwanda visited the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) in Lagos, one of Africa’s leading capital market institutions, for discussions on market development, regulation and cooperation.
Agile, ambitious, and built for the continental stage, that was the message CMA Rwanda carried to Lagos. Led by CEO Romeo Ngarambe, the delegation engaged directly with NGX leadership, including Mr. Jude Chemeka, CEO of Nigerian Exchange Limited, and Mr. Benny Shabanjo, CEO of NGX Regulation Limited, in a landmark knowledge-sharing and partnership mission.
The visit comes at a defining moment for Africa's markets, riding the momentum of the new Nigeria–Rwanda visa-free agreement and a shared vision of free movement of goods, capital, and opportunity across the continent.
Rwanda is positioning itself as a gateway to East and Central Africa, with nearly 400 million people across the wider region, and the Kigali International Financial Centre is ranked among the top five financial centres in Africa. This mission is about turning that ambition into action.
Together, both sides explored smarter regulation, world-class market infrastructure, and cross-border integration through ASEA and the African Exchange Linkage Project agreeing to keep building, with a reciprocal NGX visit to Kigali warmly welcomed.
The future of African capital markets is connected, ambitious, and built together. And Rwanda is right at the heart of it.
