Nigeria’s capital market is preparing for a major leap.
On November 28, 2025, CSCS will adopt a T+2 settlement cycle, bringing operations in line with global standards.
T+2 Transition Set For November
This move will reduce delays, minimise risks, and boost liquidity, strengthening investor confidence across the market.

Over the past 26 years, CSCS has built infrastructure to modernise settlement systems and support investors.
During a webinar for trade associations and stakeholders, MD/CEO Haruna Jalo-Waziri reflected on this journey.
He praised the SEC, NGX Group, and trade associations for collaborating closely throughout the T+2 implementation process.

Popoola also stressed that banks, custodians, registrars, fund managers, and back-office operators must cooperate to achieve a smooth transition.
Market Confidence Strengthened
Meanwhile, SEC Director General Emomotimi Agama reaffirmed the Go-Live date and linked T+2 to the 2015–2025 Capital Market Master Plan.
“T+2 represents a smarter, more competitive capital market,” he added, praising all stakeholders for their dedication.
In addition, CSCS Divisional Head Onome Komolafe confirmed that the team successfully completed 19 end-to-end test scenarios, proving operational readiness.
As November 28 approaches, Nigeria’s capital market will modernise, enhance investor trust, and strengthen its global competitiveness.
