Key stakeholders in the Nigerian capital market have lauded the newly signed Investments and Securities Act 2025, expressing strong confidence that the legislation will significantly deepen market integrity and expand investment opportunities within the nation’s financial ecosystem.
The experts made this known in separate interviews with The PUNCH on Monday following the announcement of the signing of the Bill on Saturday.
The Securities and Exchange Commission revealed that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu has given assent to the landmark Bill, repealing the Investments and Securities Act No. 29 of 2007 and ushering in what they described as a transformative era for the Nigerian capital market.
Commenting on the development, the 13th President and Chairman of the Council Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers, Oluropo Dada, said that the Act is a “testament to our collective dedication to advancing the capital market and securing its future as a catalyst for economic development.”
He highlighted that the government had shown commitment to fostering transparency, efficiency, and stability in the financial markets through this enactment.
