NGX Group of Companies in collaboration with Bantu Blockchain Foundation and WiFi Combat Academy hosted a webinar to commemorate 2022 World Intellectual Property (IP) Day 2022 on Tuesday, April 26, 2022.<\/p>\n

The webinar themed \u201cNFTs: The Wild and the Wonderful\u201d was hosted to highlight the potential of leveraging intellectual property rights, particularly in the application of new digital assets such as Non-fungible token (NFTs), could be leveraged to achieve generate income, create employment opportunities, tackle local and global challenges and support community and national development.<\/p>\n

\u00a0In his opening remarks,\u00a0Dr. Femi Oyenuga, Chief Digital Officer, Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) said, \u201cWith Nigeria\u2019s burgeoning youthful population, increasing smartphone penetration, it is no surprise that Nigeria is now home to over 200 fintech standalone companies, plus a number of fintech solutions offered by banks and mobile network operators as part of their product portfolio. Whilst the proliferation of digital assets, including Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) presents significant challenges to the Nigerian capital market and financial industry as a whole, the ability to adapt and evolve to meet the ever evolving needs of customers and the marketplace is one of the most critical requirements in today\u2019s fast paced, technology driven world. Recent trends in the application of Intellectual Property for digital assets present significant opportunities for key technology stakeholders to further drive economic growth and development through the ICT sector without stifling innovation and we welcome policy responses aimed at promoting ecomonic development while promoting investors\u201d.<\/p>\n

On her part, Mrs. Irene Robinson-Ayanwale, Divisional Head, Business Support Services Division, NGX\u00a0encouraged attendees to respond to the SEC draft rules on the\u00a0 Issuance, Offering and Custody of Digital Assets, and Registration of Virtual Asset Service Providers issued by Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that are currently exposed for public commentary. She said, \u201c the\u00a0proposed rules for the digital assets is not an act to stifle innovation, but to ensure digital assets are not used as an avenue for illicit activities to help investors and market stakeholders make the most of their digital assets while conducting their activities in a fair, efficient and transparent manner\u201d.<\/p>
