Nigerian Stock Exchange says a new Corporate Governance Rating System it unveiled on Wednesday in partnership with Convention on Business Integrity will encourage greater market transparency, competiveness and better governance.

Chief Executive Officer, NSE, Oscar Onyema, who was represented by the Executive Director, Business Development and Technology, Haruna Jalo-Waziri, said the initiative was the output of the Exchange’s commitment to the entrenchment of good corporate governance in the Nigerian business environment by implementing strong regulatory reforms.

Onyema, who stressed that “significant thought, research and brain storming went into developing the CGRS,” said he was confident that the system would have several positive impacts.

He added that the ratings and subsequent rankings would feed into two other important projects of the Exchange.

He explained that the first is the Premium Board, which the NSE plans to inaugurate this year.
