Purposeful innovation key to capital market growth — Owoturo

Oluseyi Owoturo, CEO of Coronation Registrars Limited, highlighted the importance of purpose-driven innovation in driving the growth and development of Nigeria's capital market. Speaking after the company's recent recognition with three international awards in 2026, Owoturo emphasized that technology-driven solutions are crucial in building trust, improving market efficiency, and generating long-term value for both corporate issuers and retail investors.

The firm secured two prestigious awards from the Global Economics Awards and Gazet International Annual Award, showcasing its dedication to redefining shareholder services through innovation, operational excellence, and understanding client needs. Coronation Registrars has bolstered its operational reach by implementing digital platforms for various services, including dividend administration, corporate actions management, shareholder registry tracking, and online investor self-service.

This has significantly addressed one of the capital market's longstanding challenges: unclaimed dividends. By leveraging advanced digital verification tools and simplified e-mandate onboarding, the company has streamlined the dividend recovery process, making it easier for retail investors. As capital market operators in Nigeria increasingly leverage technology to automate post-trade processes and enhance participation, Coronation Registrars reaffirms its commitment to deepening digital transformation, improving corporate governance, and aligning with evolving market frameworks across the Nigerian financial environment.
