Absa’s advice follows the increasing trend of data dependence in capital market participation and decision making. Globally, there is an increase in the reliance on market data as a tool for making sound financial decisions, and the Nigerian case is no different. A study carried out by Refinitiv in 2020 shows that 57 percent of capital markets professionals expect to spend more time analysing data, and 74 percent believe data analysis to be the most important skill that will be required to work on the futures trading desk.

Honestly for me, it feels good because at 70 I am in good shape without any health or other challenges. However if you put it in the context of the environment and the times we live in, I don’t feel as good as I could or should. I am not happy that the country is facing diverse and numerous challenges, many of them self-inflicted and needless. As I speak, we are all currently struggling to cope with heightened and extreme forms of those challenges at every level. The problem is that I cannot be okay or as happy I could or should be when all is not well with the community of which I am an integral part. That is how I feel about Nigeria in my 70th year.
