Small and Medium Enterprises operating in the
country believe that the capital market regulators comprising of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and the management of the Nigerian Stock Exchange can
do more to encourage SMEs.
The call was made by the managing director of
OmatekVentures Plc, Florence Seriki, during a press briefing on the performance
of the company held Monday.
She said efforts of the regulators to get more SMEs
to list on the exchange may not yield desired fruits if the firms were not
encouraged vis a vis the provision of a viable enabling environment.
Her comments came at a time, the Director General of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, Arunma Oteh, said the regulator was
trying to encourage more SMEs to list in order to boost local and foreign
participation in the bourse.
