On May 20, 2025, Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, officially launched a redesigned website for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) during the Capital Market Committee (CMC) meeting in Lagos. Represented by the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, Edun emphasized that the new digital platform aims to enhance transparency, bolster investor confidence, and improve efficiency in Nigeria’s financial markets.
The revamped SEC website features an improved user experience, enhanced security measures, and updated tools to assist investors, market operators, and issuers in accessing regulatory information and market data. This initiative aligns with the federal government’s broader commitment to modernizing the financial sector and creating an environment conducive to growth, innovation, and inclusion.
SEC Director-General Dr. Emomotimi Agama highlighted that the website launch is part of a larger strategy to deepen digital engagement with market participants. The Commission has also introduced other digital tools, such as educational podcasts and electronic surveys, to support financial literacy and data collection.
In addition to the website launch, the SEC announced the formation of an implementation team to oversee the rollout of the newly passed Investments and Securities Act 2025. This team will ensure that the law achieves its main goals, including protecting investors and promoting fair, efficient, and transparent markets.
These developments underscore the government’s efforts to position Nigeria as a competitive investment destination in Africa and beyond, leveraging technology to align with international standards in financial governance and market transparency.
