In a statement, FMDA said: “We wish to strongly state our utmost displeasure in the incorrect presentation of facts as this misrepresents the position of the Financial Market Dealers Association (FMDA) which has been clearly stated and communicated to the Charted Institute of Stock Brokers (CIS)  to the effect that the Association will not accede to signing the MoU from the Chartered Institute of Stock Brokers. This is for clarification and record purposes to the general public and all stakeholders,” it said.

The FMDA was created to develop financial market infrastructure, human capital and promote professional and ethical standards in treasury activities in Nigeria.
