Agama Advocates Proactive Regulation for Investment Growth

During a recent conference in Lagos, Dr. Emomotimi Agama, the Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, stressed the importance of regulatory frameworks that anticipate market disruptions rather than react to them.

The conference, themed "Building an Investment Nation," aimed to reform policies to foster resilience in Nigeria's financial landscape. Keynote speaker Bukola Smith, Managing Director of FSDH Merchant Bank, highlighted the necessity for collective intelligence to navigate the increasingly complex investment environment.

Omolola Oloworaran from PenCom discussed the role of pension capital in financing infrastructure and long-term value creation. She noted that the pension fund sector could potentially manage assets worth 100 trillion Naira over the next five years.

The conference concluded with Toyin Owolabi, Managing Director of FSDH Asset Management, expressing optimism about translating discussions into actionable outcomes across the financial ecosystem.
