The ambition of the Nigeria Securities And Exchange Commission is clear and simple,to boost the value of the NSE to a trillion dollars by the end of 2016.
How do they achieve that ? Through a series of measures and rules:
-Listing of the NSE itself to help the value of the exchange
-Requiring all companies to disclose financial information on their website ( a good example is First Bank ).
-To encourage expansion of the fixed income market.Nigeria central Bank has already hiked the rates on fixed income securities and cut taxes.
-To push pension funds towards stock investments which are limited to a total of 12 billion dollars so far.
-To combat risk averse attitude among local retail investors by producing ,with Nollywood film directors ,TV shows that promote a certain business attitude.
-Introduction of a new code of corporate governance
New listing of companies could also bring in that new blood so much needed to move towards the goal.
The state oil company is expected to float its joint venture companies on the NSE,the same move is expected in the power industry where some 19 new electricitygeneration and distribution companies are expected to attempt to raise the 50 billion dollars investment capital required on the NSE.
Other companies wished to list on the NSE include, Shell,Exxon and MTN Nigeria.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION PORTFOLIO
AFRICA
The oil sector in Congo (1) accounts for a large portion of
the country’s GDP and exports. With development and
production operations in Brazzaville, Tullow averaged 4,000
bopd in 2010, which represented 7% of the Group’s
production.
Côte d’Ivoire (2) is a major gas producer, producing
sufficient gas for the country, in addition to being a major
supplier to the West African region. With exploration,
development, and production across four offshore blocks,
Tullow produced 3850 bopd, approximately 7% of the
Group’s production, in 2010.
With two offshore interests for hydrocarbon industry,
Tullow’s development and production operations in
Equatorial Guinea (3) yielded 15,700 bopd, representing
more than a quarter of the Group’s total production.
Currently, hydrocarbon reserves in Ethiopia (4) are limited,
but Tullow Oil has shown an interest in exploration by
acquiring licenses in 2010.
Diaspora bonds are seen as potential source of financing for Africa capital hungry economy.How would that work ?
They can be sold globally through national and international banks and money transfer companies [Western Union,Money Gram & the likes ]. They can be marketed through social hubs,think churches, community groups, ethnic newspapers/Websites, stores, and hometown associations in countries and cities [think New York,London,Paris,Abidjan,Johannesburg,DC,Houston & the likes ]where large numbers of migrants reside.
