SEC Introduces New Website to Boost Market Transparency and Investor Safety

SEC Nigeria has launched a redesigned website to boost transparency, investor protection, and market credibility.

The new platform offers smoother navigation, mobile optimization, and timely access to financial information.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has launched a newly redesigned website as part of efforts to modernize its digital presence and boost investor confidence in the nation’s capital markets.

The platform, unveiled on Monday, is designed to enhance regulatory transparency, simplify access to financial information, and enhance investor protection. It features a refreshed interface that is responsive across devices, providing smoother navigation and a unified hub of resources for both stakeholders and the general audience.

According to SEC Director-General Emomotimi Agama, the launch represents a significant step forward in the agency’s drive to modernize its operations.

“This digital advancement is a significant step in building a more transparent and accessible Commission. It enhances our engagement with the capital market and the investing public and reflects our dedication to continuous improvement in service delivery and communication,” he said.

Executive Commissioner for Corporate Services, Samiya Usman, added that the redesign was more than cosmetic. “By simplifying access and logically organizing content, we have created a powerful platform that supports our mission to develop and regulate a fair, efficient, and transparent capital market,” she explained.

Key Features of the New Website:

  • Intuitive Navigation
  • Streamlined menus for quick access to vital information.
  • Mobile Optimization: Seamless functionality across desktops and smartphones.

The Commission has urged stakeholders to explore the new platform for timely updates, regulatory notices, and investor services.

The launch comes amid the SEC heightened campaign against unregistered and fraudulent investment platforms exploiting Nigerians with promises of unrealistic returns.

So far in 2025, the regulator has flagged several entities, including GVEST Global, which has been labeled a Ponzi scheme. Pocket Option, posing as an online adviser/fund manager. Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX), linked to massive investor losses. Sapphire Scents Limited, promoting unlicensed investment schemes. SEC reiterated that these operators lack authorization to solicit funds or offer investment services in Nigeria, warning investors to steer clear.

In accordance with the ISA 2025, which widens the SEC oversight of fraudulent schemes and enhances its regulatory reach, the Commission is intensifying its crackdown.
