Nigeria's SEC Prioritizes Mobilizing Long-Term Capital for Infrastructure Development

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Nigeria, led by Director-General Emomotimi Agama, aims to facilitate the issuance of infrastructure bonds, green bonds, and municipal bonds to attract long-term domestic and international capital for infrastructure projects. The SEC plans to introduce new financial instruments to support agriculture, real estate, and affordable housing initiatives, while also focusing on revitalizing the power sector through infrastructure bonds.

This strategic move is geared towards unlocking long-term capital for sustainable development in Nigeria.
