SEC Nigeria Launches New Website to Enhance Investor Protection and Market Transparency
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has unveiled its redesigned website, signaling a major push toward digital modernization, improved transparency, and stronger investor protection. The launch reflects the Commission’s commitment to providing easier access to critical financial information and reinforcing its regulatory role in Nigeria’s capital markets.
The upgraded platform features a sleek, mobile-responsive design, enhanced navigation, and a consolidated repository of resources tailored for investors, market operators, and the general public. According to SEC Director-General Emomotimi Agama, the initiative “enhances our engagement with the capital market and the investing public, and reflects our dedication to continuous improvement in service delivery and communication.”
Key features of the website include intuitive navigation for faster access to information, centralized regulatory guidelines and investor alerts, and seamless functionality across both desktop and mobile devices. Executive Commissioner for Corporate Services, Samiya Usman, emphasized that the redesign “supports our mission to develop and regulate a fair, efficient, and transparent capital market.”
The website launch coincides with the SEC’s intensified efforts to clamp down on fraudulent investment schemes exploiting Nigerian investors. In 2025 alone, the Commission has flagged multiple unauthorized platforms, including GVEST Global, Pocket Option, Forsman & Bodenfors LTD (F&B), Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), and Sapphire Scents Limited, warning that investors engaging with these entities do so at their own risk.
These measures align with the recently enacted Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, which strengthens the SEC’s enforcement powers and broadens its jurisdiction over Ponzi schemes and other illegal investment activities. Stakeholders are encouraged to explore the new website for timely regulatory updates, market news, and investor services, marking a significant step toward safer, more transparent capital market operations in Nigeria.
