The inaugural cohort of Ekiti State University's (EKSU) Securities Trading and Financial Markets professional diploma programme is scheduled to graduate by the end of 2026. This eight-month E-FMTP combines classroom instruction with practical trading simulations and exposure to global financial markets. The programme, approved by the university senate on February 25, 2026, is anchored on EKSU's trading room, a state-of-the-art facility that was established with support from the Tunji Olowolafe Foundation.
The training emphasizes hands-on experience in risk management, investment strategies, and trading in global markets. The chancellor highlighted that the programme aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical demands of the financial industry, particularly in addressing the lack of practical skills among recent finance graduates.
The General Manager of the Tunji Olowolafe Foundation emphasized that the programme not only provides academic qualifications but also equips students with professional instincts and practical skills to succeed in the global financial industry.
