Dr. Emomotimi Agama, the newly appointed Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), will lead a key meeting this week aimed at defining the capital market’s role in advancing Nigeria’s national economic objectives.
Appointed by President Bola Tinubu, Agama has committed to leveraging the capital market as a driving force behind the government’s Renewed Hope Agenda, including the ambitious goal of reaching a $1 trillion economy.
Agama will host the upcoming Capital Market Committee (CMC) meeting, where stakeholders will collaborate on strategies to enhance the capital market’s contribution to economic growth and development. The focus will be on initiatives to attract investment, improve market efficiency, and protect investor interests.
“The meeting will gather leading figures from the Nigerian capital market to review the current landscape, regulatory framework, and future growth strategies,” SEC stated. “Participants will discuss industry challenges, explore innovative solutions, and reaffirm their dedication to creating a dynamic investment environment characterized by innovation, sustainability, and robust investor protection.”
The agenda will cover critical market issues and ensure comprehensive discussions on emerging trends, supported by reports from technical committees and industry observers. The committee aims to address these concerns and explore opportunities for market improvement.
The CMC, which includes the SEC, capital market operators, trade groups, and other stakeholders, serves as a crucial platform for dialogue. It facilitates the exchange of ideas, addresses significant issues affecting market development, and collaborates on shaping the market’s future.
Established to provide a forum for feedback and idea sharing with the SEC, the CMC plays a vital role in enhancing market operations and regulatory frameworks.
