The Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers has conferred its first Honorary Fellowship on General Yakubu Gowon, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Alhaji Aliko Dangote.
The CIS stated that the eminent Nigerians were recognised for their contributions to the growth and development of the Nigerian capital market, and by the conferment, had become members of the institute.
Of the four awardees, only Gowon was conferred with the award on Thursday as part of the CIS commemoration of its 25th anniversary alongside with the hosting of its 21st Annual Stockbrokers’ Conference. Other awardees, the institute said, would be conferred with the award at a later date.
The 2017 CIS conference is themed, ‘Adapting to the Dynamic Changes in the Financial Market’.
