In 1998, the NSE management protested to the government about a report of a committee the government had established, headed by respected banker Dennis Odife, on the form of Nigerian Capital Market. The NSE said that the report recommendation for setting up what would be called the Lagos Stock Exchange (L.S.E) was bound to be misunderstood by many Nigerian and Foreign Investors, who might questions its down grading to local exchange. NSE officials requested that the exchange retain its name and be allowed to operate on level of playing field with proposed government exchange and argue that the SEN should not be given undue advantage over the NSE and other competitors. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the apex government body which regulated the capital market in Nigeria favour the multiple exchange system, which is view at a better option for attracting the investors to cities other than Lagos, when capital market activities concentrated.
