Yuguda urges private sector to explore capital market for funding

Yuguda said this on Thursday at a pre-event press briefing on the forthcoming West Africa Capital Market Conference scheduled to be held in Lagos October 25-26 with the theme ‘Infrastructural deficit and sustainable financing in an integrated West Africa Capital Market’.

The SEC DG said, “This (infrastructure) deficit poses a significant challenge to the region’s sustainable development. To address this gap, there is a growing need to adopt innovative financing mechanisms, and sustainable financing options to mobilise the desired funds to meet the region’s critical infrastructure needs, foster economic growth, and achieve sustainable development goals.”
