SEC TO EDUCATE NIGERIANS ON CAPITAL MARKET INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES DURING WORLD INVESTOR WEEK
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), led by Director General Emomotimi Agama, announced plans to use the upcoming 2024 World Investor Week (WIW) to raise awareness about various investment opportunities in the Nigerian capital market. The event, taking place from October 7 to 14, aims to educate Nigerians on asset classes that can help them build wealth while protecting them from illegal fund management schemes.
Mr. Agama emphasized the SEC's commitment to investor protection and the enforcement of laws against fraudulent fund managers. The theme for this year's WIW will focus on Technology, Digital Finance, Crypto Assets, and Sustainable Finance, reflecting the evolving landscape of global financial markets. A key aspect of the initiative will be to boost financial literacy and empower citizens to make informed investment decisions.
The SEC will utilize both social media and traditional media platforms to reach a broad audience, offering investor education through outreach programs, panel discussions, and clinics at its offices. The week-long activities will also include bell-ringing ceremonies and investor outreach events designed to attract more participation in the capital market.
Key Points:
