  "account": "The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) has introduced a WhatsApp subscription channel to its NGX Invest platform, broadening access to its primary market offerings. Interested investors can subscribe by sending the word 'Invest' to NGX Invest on WhatsApp at +234 812 731 9521. By following the provided prompts, they can view available offers and complete the subscription process without needing to download additional apps. Subscribers must select a stockbroker to process their application, ensuring that the process remains secure and broker-assisted. NGX Group's expanding distribution ecosystem, which currently includes over 100 channels such as stockbrokers, banks, fintechs, mobile operators, and other financial institutions, now incorporates WhatsApp. This integration simplifies the investment process and brings primary-market opportunities closer to investors, who are already using WhatsApp daily. For issuers, this new channel provides an additional avenue to reach a wider pool of potential investors, facilitating more efficient capital raising. The initiative aligns with NGX Group's strategy of leveraging technology, partnerships, and open distribution infrastructure to increase participation in Nigeria's capital market. While WhatsApp serves as the interface for investor access, subscriptions are processed through NGX Invest's secure, regulated infrastructure. Investors are advised to interact solely with the official NGX Invest WhatsApp number and refrain from sharing sensitive information such as passwords, PINs, or OTPs with any third parties. As digital participation in Nigeria's capital market continues to rise, NGX Group remains committed to ensuring that expanded access is backed by secure, transparent, and regulated market infrastructure. With WhatsApp now part of its distribution system, NGX Invest is enhancing the channels through which investors can discover and participate in primary-market opportunities, while simultaneously enabling issuers to tap into a larger pool of investors.",
