The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), in its commitment to developing the capital market and increasing participation among Nigerians, is set to train selected women in capital market literacy through its training arm, the Nigerian Capital Market Institute (NCMI).
The director-general of SEC, Emomotimi Agama, disclosed this initiative during a meeting with the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajia Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim.
The meeting was part of SEC’s activities to commemorate International Women’s Day 2025 under the theme: ‘Women –The Voice of the Capital Market’.
Agama stated that the Commission has decided to take advantage of the IWD celebration to raise more awareness on the participation of women in the capital market.
According to him, in all we do, protection is key, and investor education is also very important. We pledge to support the work you are doing by offering to provide financial knowledge to women.
We will offer financial education at the NCMI to selected women once in a month.
“Women have been left out of the capital market for too long, they need to be empowered. The $1 trillion dollar economy being proposed by President Bola Tinubu cannot be possible without women.”
