The Capital Market Solicitors Association (CMSA) Presents Its 2020 Virtual Annual Business Luncheon: Financial Opportunities In the Capital Market – An Aid to Improving the Nigerian Healthcare Sector

Similar to any other form of organized economic activity, easy access to capital is important for the efficient delivery of high quality medical services in any healthcare sector worldwide. The Nigerian healthcare sector has faced numerous challenges ranging from poor funding and inadequate health infrastructure to a great loss in revenue of over 1Billion USD annually from medical tourism. Historically, it has been funded through budget allocation, grants, donor contributions etc., however, the global economy and healthcare sectors worldwide are in recovery in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the challenges of the Nigerian healthcare sector being brought to bear once again.

As we navigate the new normal, the Capital Market Solicitors Association, through its flagship event, Annual Business Luncheon, brings together solicitors, regulators, capital market operators and other participants in the sector to examine topical issues affecting the capital market. The Theme for this year’s Business Luncheon is “Financial opportunities in the Capital Market – an aid to improving the Nigerian Healthcare Sector”, to analyze the current state of the Nigerian healthcare sector in relation to COVID-19 and the role to be played by the capital market in ensuring the easy access to structured, long term capital as a driver for the sustainable growth and development of an inefficient healthcare sector.

The Annual Business Luncheon is scheduled to hold on Tuesday, 15 September 2020 at 11am, and shall comprise of prestigious speakers including market participants who have vast experience and knowledge regarding the topic.

SEC Renews Commitment To Capital Market Competitiveness

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Friday said it would continue to pursue initiatives that would enhance the depth and competitiveness of the Nigerian capital market.     Mr Isyaku Tilde, SEC’s acting Executive Commissioner, Operations, stated this while engaging the Association of Issuing Houses, Trustees and Solicitors on the commencement of checklist review in Lagos.     Tilde said the commission desired to ensure a more robust capital market, hence it introduced the 10-year master plan for the capital market.     He explained that the master plan was geared towards increasing the depth of the market, transparency, accountability and cost reduction, among others.   “The need for a market that lives up to its role of catalysing economic growth by facilitating development cannot be over emphasised,” Tilde said. He noted that the introduction of checklist review process for the capital market would make the system more competitive, reduce cost, promote efficiency, transparency and accountability.   Tilde explained that whilst this would drastically reduce the process of transaction in terms of raising funds among others, it placed a huge responsibility on issuing houses to ensure that their documentation and filing were flawless.   He said issuing houses needed to ensure that all relevant disclosures were made and all necessary documents filed as there would be no prior review for incompleteness or deficiency.   The Head of Department (HOD), Securities and Investment Services, Mr Abdulkadir Abbas, said: “If we open up the market and are able to attract more capital into the system, most of the vices in the society will be reduced.”   Abbas said vices in the system would reduce because people would be engaged in developmental activities.   “Let’s think out of the box and improve the system to make our market more competitive. “Reducing time-to-market will enable us move forward, fast track our processes and make the system more user friendly,” he added.     Read the full article

Insights: A Bar For All – Dele Adesina SAN

As a firm believer in the objectives of the Nigerian Bar Association and the role it plays to its members and the community, I believe our Association is at a critical point in history where unity of purpose and synergy among lawyers is in desperate need.

As such it is not a time for members to instigate division either among the senior members of the Bar and juniors or among the Senior Advocates and Non – Senior Advocates. I believe as members of the NBA, the Association is for the benefit of all members irrespective of position or ilk.

The Leadership of NBA must always ensure strategic collaboration between the NBA, its Sections, Forums and other bodies such as the Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Law Officers Association of Nigeria, Law Teachers Association of Nigeria, Association of Lawyers with Disabilities in Nigeria, Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria (CLASFON), Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN) and “Federación Internacional dé Abogadas” a.k.a. “International Federation of Women Lawyers”, Capital Markets Solicitors, and any other interest groups among us.

Our Association must continue to be a pillar of support and strength for the specialised bodies and individuals in pursuit of their goals and objectives. We must also resist any and all efforts to cause a division among our ranks, if the NBA must remain relevant, active and successful in its role.
