SEC Collaborates with Nasarawa to Boost Investor Education

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has intensified its efforts to promote financial literacy and strengthen investor protection through a capital market awareness program held in Lafia, Nasarawa State. This initiative aimed to educate the public on investment opportunities, facilitate access to unclaimed dividends, and raise awareness about fraudulent investment schemes.

The program included representatives from the Institute of Capital Market Registrars, the Probate Registry, and the National Population Commission, highlighting the importance of collaboration in addressing unclaimed investments. SEC Chairman Alhaji Mairiga Katuka visited Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule to express gratitude for the state's support and to seek deeper collaboration in advancing investor education.

Katuka acknowledged the provision of office space in Lafia for the SEC's liaison office, which will enhance the commission's presence in the state. He emphasized the need for public enlightenment to protect investors and solicited the state government's support in mobilizing local business entities for active participation in the initiative.
