CAMCAN is the umbrella body for journalists in the print and
electronic media that reports activities within the nation’s capital market, and
will be hosting the workshop on Saturday, December 4, 2021. The workshop
themed, “Technology as a tool for financial inclusion in Nigeria” will explore
strategies to help reporters increase awareness of the capital market and its
possible potentials to aid economic growth.
Although the capital market provides access to affordable
funding for developmental goals, it remains underutilised by organisations in
the private and public sectors.
Speaking on the announcement, ID Africa’s CEO, Femi Falodun
said, “ID Africa is pleased to be a part of the 2021 edition of the annual
CAMCAN workshop. We truly believe that the Association’s efforts to improve the
skill and capacity of its members will greatly impact the development of
Nigeria’s capital market through storytelling and public enlightenment, and the
professional practice of journalism in the country.”
CAMCAN Chairman, Chinyere Joel-Nwokeoma expressed enthusiasm
at ID Africa’s support of the 2021 Annual CAMCAN Workshop and called on other
organisations to follow suit. “ID Africa’s partnership with CAMCAN will prove
instrumental in advancing our organisation’s goal of spreading awareness of the
capital market. This year’s edition of the CAMCAN Workshop will bring together
regulators, operators, and company executives to discuss issues affecting the
capital market and the economy in general.
“We will also build the capacity of journalists covering the
capital market and equip them to carry out their duties more successfully.”
The event, slated to be held at the Orchid Hotels, Lekki,
Lagos, on Saturday, December 4, 2021, will draw key players in the capital
market, including officials from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
Debt Management Office (DMO), and Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS).
