FinTribe Finance Fair 2026: NGX Group Advances Women’s Financial Empowerment, Investor Protection.
The fourth edition of the Fair, themed ‘I Can’, brought together women, entrepreneurs, financial experts and business leaders to explore investment opportunities, entrepreneurship and long-term financial independence.
The event also reached participants through viewing centres in Abuja, Port Harcourt, Enugu and Akwa Ibom State.
Through its EquipHER initiative, NGX RegCo engaged participants on practical approaches to wealth creation, responsible investing and fraud prevention, reinforcing the importance of financial knowledge in building lasting economic independence.
The engagement also aligned with the objectives of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) World Investor Week 2026, particularly its focus on investor resilience, digital deception and fraud awareness. Speaking during a session titled ‘The Smart Investor: Grow Your Wealth, Guard Your Money,’ Chief Executive Officer, NGX RegCo, Olufemi Shobanjo, emphasised that financial empowerment requires more than earning an income or accumulating savings. “Financial empowerment must go beyond earning and saving money. Women need the knowledge, confidence and opportunities to acquire assets, invest responsibly and build lasting economic independence,” he said.
