The Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Emomotimi Agama, has emphasised the importance of continuous investor education in the development of the capital market.
A statement by the Commission said Agama stated this during a meeting with the management of the Investments and Securities Tribunal in Abuja.
“We need to continue constant education in the capital market. The market is knowledge-based, and we are committed to ensuring that information is made available to the investing public”, he said.
According to Agama, the SEC will continue to partner with relevant stakeholders to create more opportunities for learning.
“We will do more training and sensitization because it is important we continue to learn,” he added.
Agama praised the Investments and Securities Tribunal (IST) for its role in resolving capital market disputes, stating that the IST is an important organ in the discharge of capital market disputes.
He noted that as more cases are resolved, the investing public will begin to appreciate the role of the IST in the capital market. “The decisions on cases bring about confidence, which is needed for the nation to have a fledgling capital market,” Agama said.
