The Securities and Exchange Commission, Nigeria (SEC) and the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) have reaffirmed their commitment to empowering retail investors through financial education during the global IOSCO World Investor Week, held from October 7 to 13.
The week's activities included a financial literacy seminar at Pan-Atlantic University and the NGX Retail Investor Clinic, which provided valuable insights into essential investing fundamentals, capital market strategies, and the growing significance of technology and sustainability in modern finance.
Participants had the opportunity to engage with experts and gain practical knowledge on navigating the complexities of the investment landscape.
The week culminated in the "Ring the Bell for Financial Literacy" ceremony at NGX, which united SEC officials, market leaders, and stakeholders in a unified commitment to enhancing financial literacy across Nigeria. This ceremony served as a symbolic call to action for all stakeholders to prioritize education and awareness in the investment community.
