The FMDQ Group and Frontier Africa Reports on Wednesday, June 3rd signed-off on their six-year relationship, that will enable the FAR organisation to broadcast pan-African financial and business news, and related programming, live from the in-house studio facilities of the FMDQ Group. Kaodi Ugoji, Group Chief Operating Officer, FMDQ Group says at the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, that the group firmly believes in the ability and the experience of Frontier Africa Reports (FAR) team, led by its CEO Boason Omofaye, a veteran financial news broadcast journalist to manage, operate and utilize the broadcast facilities to deepen the knowledge of the African markets (equities, debt, currencies, derivatives, venture capital, commodities, etc.), increase investors awareness and, provide a platform of engagement and information for issuers as well as trading/dealing firms, among others.
