SEC and Nasarawa State Collaborate to Enhance Investor Protection

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has partnered with the Nasarawa State Government to enhance investor protection, improve financial literacy, and facilitate the recovery of unclaimed dividends and other investment assets. This initiative is part of the SEC's capital market awareness and investor education outreach program held in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

The program gathered representatives from various institutions, academia, and stakeholders to educate the public on investment opportunities and ways to avoid fraudulent schemes. A significant aspect of the event was a courtesy visit by SEC Chairman, Alhaji Mairiga Katuka, to Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule.

During this visit, Katuka expressed appreciation for the state government's support and sought deeper collaboration on investor education and financial inclusion. He also thanked the governor for providing office space in Lafia for the commission's liaison office, which is expected to become operational soon.

Katuka emphasized that improving financial literacy is vital for helping Nigerians make informed investment decisions and contribute to economic development.
