Dr. Emomotimi Agama, SEC Director General, at the Q1 2025 Capital Market Committee meeting

Dr. Emomotimi Agama, the Director General, stepped up to address the Capital Market Committee in the first quarter of 2025. The room was filled with top executives from various capital market institutions.
Dr. Agama tasked the committee members with a crucial responsibility: to name and shame illegal operators in the capital market. “It’s time we take a stand against those who seek to undermine our system,” he emphasized. “We must work together to sanitize the capital market and restore investor confidence.”
One by one, the committee members pledged their commitment to Dr. Agama’s call to action. They discussed strategies to identify and expose illicit activities, from unregistered investment schemes to unauthorized trading platforms.
As the meeting concluded, the executives left with a renewed sense of purpose. They knew that their collective efforts would help create a more transparent and trustworthy capital market, where investors could confidently participate without fear of fraud or manipulation.
Dr. Agama smiled, satisfied that the message had been received. With the Capital Market Committee on board, he was confident that Nigeria’s capital market would soon be rid of unscrupulous operators, paving the way for sustainable growth and development.
The capital market institutions were determined to work together, united in their quest for a cleaner, more efficient system. The future looked bright, and the Nigerian capital market was poised for a new era of growth and prosperity.
