SEC plans stock market meeting on investments


The Securities and Exchange Commission has announced that it will hold the first quarter Capital Market Committee meeting on May 19 in the Victoria Island area of Lagos state.

According to the commission, in a statement made available to our correspondent on Monday, the meeting will focus on the implementation of the Investments and Securities Act 2025, enhanced investor sensitisation, and strategies to drive capital market growth in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The SEC said the session will bring together stakeholders in the Nigerian capital market, including capital market operators, trade groups, investment advisers, fund and portfolio managers, and custodians.

The meeting aims to review the market’s current regulatory landscape and develop strategies to attract investments, improve market efficiency, and protect investors.

“The meeting will focus on critical issues affecting the market and ensure that those concerns are thoroughly addressed,” the SEC said.

“Participants will also deliberate on the activities of unregistered investment schemes and explore ways to better inform Nigerians on available capital market products.”

The commission noted that reports from technical committees, market infrastructures, and industry observers will be reviewed to guide discussions on emerging market trends and regulatory reforms.
