As we do for most Tekedia Institute programs, we survey our co-learners to understand their backgrounds and readiness. From our recent assessment, we observed that some participants joining the Nigeria Capital Market Masterclass do not yet have deep exposure to the broader framework of economics, business, and markets. To address this, we are introducing a new foundational module that will precede Module 1: Introduction to Nigeria’s Capital Market – Foundations & Architecture.
The new module, “Market Frictions, Nature and Mission of Companies, Capital as Factor of Production, and Capital Markets,” is designed to provide the conceptual foundations needed to make the masterclass accessible, rigorous, and valuable for everyone.
Simply, before discussing securities, exchanges, bonds, derivatives, tokenization, and digital assets, it is important to understand the deeper economic logic behind markets and firms. Why do companies exist? What are market frictions? Why is capital different from money? What exactly is a firm? How do institutions create trust and enable prosperity?

These questions sit at the heart of economic development and capital formation. By exploring them first, participants will better appreciate not only how capital markets operate, but why they exist in the first place.
As a result of this addition, I will lead Week 1 of the Nigeria Capital Market Masterclass. Beginning in Week 2, the faculty member originally scheduled for the opening week will take over to teach Nigeria’s Capital Market: Foundations and Architecture.
I am particularly excited about this sequence because the new foundational module will equip our co-learners with the economic and business context necessary to fully appreciate the structure, institutions, and mechanics of the Nigerian capital market.
I welcome everyone and please if you want to join us, go here and pick your seat
