The Nigerian stock Exchange was established in 1961. It was expected to make certain vital contributions to the national development. It therefore, has existed for long enough to pursuit a critical evaluation of its achievements and failures.
This study is an attempt to familiarize the public about the essence, machines and potentials of a unique and vital institution within the economy. It aims at investigating the effectiveness of the stock Exchange with regards to the development of the Nigerian economy.
The fact that the stock exchange is traditionally not an institution that operates single handedly by itself, but one which must co- operate with a number of other institutions, makes it some how difficult to pin point responsibility for any success or failures recorded.
In order to arrive at a conclusive decision the senior staff member of the Onitsha branch of the stock Exchange were interviewed, library research was made, the relevant records of the stock Exchange were examined and information extracted.
This project is an attempt to familiarize the public about the essence, mechanics and potentials of a unique and vital institution within the economy. It aims at investigating the effectiveness of the stock Exchange market with regards to the development of the Nigerian economy.
