Nigeria needs to operate an efficient tax administration that would tackle its revenue challenges – DG DMO

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has reiterated its commitment to drive the debt market-enabling environment to boost investors’ participation. He was speaking at the annual workshop of the Capital Market Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CAMCAN) held in Lagos recently. Yuguda who was represented by the Executive Commissioner, Operations, SEC, Mr Dayo Obisan.

Speaking on the theme of the event ‘Nigeria’s Public Debt and the Capital Market’ Mr. Obisan said the apex capital market regulating body is engaging the Minister of Budget and Finance, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, to create a level-playing field for debt market. He explained that the commission would continue to fulfil its mandate of protecting investors and creating an enabling environment for market operators. 

Meanwhile, the divisional Head, Business Support Services, Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX), Mrs Irene Robinson-Ayanwale, in her goodwill message, commended CAMCAN for selecting the theme for the 2022 workshop. She said the debt capital market is dear to the Exchange. She also acknowledged the support the Debt Management Office (DMO) has granted to the Exchange over the years.

“Exchange always visits the DMO for different proposals and they are always granted. We hope the joint collaboration and support will continue because it is very key to the debt capital market,” she added.

Mr Charles Egbunonwo who represented the Chairman, Association of Securities Dealing Houses of Nigeria (ASHON), Mr Sam Onukwue, said the theme selected was a topical issue in Nigeria’s economy.

According to him, “We are all aware of what is happening in terms of revenue and growing debts level in the economy.”

Also speaking, the 1st Vice President, the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS), Mr Oluropo Dada, who represented the President, Mr Oluwole Adeosun, noted that there was nothing wrong with government borrowing.

In his words, “If the government does not borrow again, how do I sustain my profession? We have issuers that secure these securities and trading platforms. 

“Without trading platforms, we can’t have stockbrokers. So, there is nothing wrong in government borrowing. The issue all around the world is whether these debts are sustainable.

“If our debt-to-GDP is doing well, what about service ratio to revenue that is over 90 per cent? What happened to the GDP?

“We seem to be comparing ourselves to big economies and the market capitalisation of five companies in the US is larger than the entire GDP of Africa.

“Why are we comparing ourselves to bigger economies? We cannot compare ourselves to the US and other bigger economies because there are some fundamental issues. The fundamental issue is the role of government to provide an enabling environment.

“Provide infrastructure, security among other things. If the government does not solve the issue of enabling the environment, it will be difficult to solve our problem of revenue and debt service.”
