Stock Market Stakeholders Shower Glowing Tributes on Pascal Dozie

The NGX Limited organised an Afternoon of Tributes and Special Closing Gong Ceremony in honour the man who established the defunct Diamond Bank, which later merged with Access Bank Plc.

One of his children, Mr Uzoma Dozie, while speaking at the event, said, “Beyond his professional achievements, he was a man of quiet wisdom and grace. His presence commanded respect, and his influence shaped minds and institutions alike. His absence will be deeply felt.”

Also, the chairman of NGX Group, Mr Umaru Kwairanga, said the deceased was “a banker, entrepreneur, economist, philanthropist and a builder of institutions.”

“His tenure as president of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) Council marked a pivotal chapter in our history. With foresight and steady leadership, he laid the foundation for a world-class Exchange that not only serves Nigeria but inspires confidence across Africa.”

Further, the chairman of NGX Limited, Mr Ahonsi Unuigbe, said Mr Dozie did not “just serve; he built, inspired, and transformed. The greatest tribute we can pay is to ensure the institutions he strengthened continue to thrive with integrity, transparency, and innovation.”

On his part, the chief executive of NGX Group, Mr Temi Popoola, remarked that, “Mr Dozie was not just an industry titan, but was a mentor, a visionary, and a nation-builder. His contributions were not just pioneering but transformative. To his family, we say thank you for sharing him with the nation. May his soul rest in peace, and may we all carry forward the light he ignited.”

In his tribute, a former president of the NSE council, Mr Raymond Obieri, said, “Pascal was the kind of leader who brought calm to chaos and vision to uncertainty. His leadership was never about power, it was always about purpose.”

The chairman of the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG), Mr Olaniyi Yusuf, Mr Dozie was “not just a founding father of NESG but a compass for our mission to build a globally competitive Nigerian economy. His vision and principled leadership continue to guide us.”
