Nigeria’s investment landscape has undergone a significant transformation from being exclusive to the elite to becoming widely accessible through mobile technology.
Today, millions of Nigerians use digital platforms to invest in a variety of assets, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and cryptocurrencies.
This shift has been propelled by increasing financial literacy, lower barriers to entry, and innovative fintech solutions.
Both experienced investors and novices can now start investing with just a smartphone and modest capital.
However, selecting the right platform involves careful consideration of factors such as investment objectives, risk tolerance, product variety, user experience, fees, security measures, regulatory compliance, and customer service.
