SEC, Nasarawa partner to protect investment assets

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Nigeria has partnered with the Nasarawa State government to promote financial literacy, protect investment assets, and enhance participation in the capital market. The initiative, known as the capital market awareness, unclaimed funds, and investor education outreach programme, was held in Lafia, Nasarawa State.

The event brought together representatives from various institutions, academia, and stakeholders to educate the public on investment opportunities, facilitate access to unclaimed dividends, and protect against fraudulent schemes. SEC Chairman Alhaji Mairiga Katuka visited the Executive Governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, to express gratitude for the state's support in providing a strategic office space in Lafia for the SEC's liaison office.

This collaboration aims to strengthen the regulator's presence in the state, improve financial literacy, and boost market participation.
