Oliseh to ring closing bell at Nigeria Stock Exchange

Super Eagles’ Head Coach, Sunday Oliseh, will perform the significant ringing of the bell at the closing of business at the Nigeria Stock Exchange on August 17 as the Amaju Pinnick-led Executive Committee of Nigeria Football Federation breaks another ground in the history of the country’s football.

Oliseh will attend the symbolic event at the Nigeria Stock Exchange house in Lagos in company with the NFF President, Amaju Melvin Pinnick, and Vice Presidents, Seyi Akinwunmi and Shehu Dikko.

“The ringing of the bell at the closing of business at the Nigeria Stock Exchange floor is a very significant event. It means that Corporate Nigeria is warming up to Nigeria football as a result of extensive consultations that we have been making over the past months,” Pinnick said on Wednesday.

It is the first time in history that the Nigeria Stock Exchange would offer a Nigerian football figure such a gesture and Pinnick says it is the beginning of what would turn out to be a wonderful relationship between Corporate Nigeria and Nigerian football.

He said: “We are looking at taking this to a level where even clubs in the Nigeria League will be quoted on the Nigeria Stock Exchange. It is a gradual process but we will get there.”
