As part of efforts to ensure the continued enlightenment of investors to enable them take more informed decisions, the Securities and Exchange Commission is set to hold an enlightenment programme for staff of the Federal Road Safety Corps.
The Enlightenment programme with the theme “Investor Safety” is to be held across 12 Zonal Commands in the country.
The campaign is expected to be held in Kaduna, Sokoto, Adamawa, Kwara, Bauchi and Plateau states.
The enlightenment campaign to the FRSC zones is in continuation of collaboration between the Commission and the Corps to ensure that staff members are knowledgeable about the opportunities available in the capital market.
Director Market Development of the SEC, Mr. Nestor Ikeagu, had recently stated that such enlightenments are part of the Commission’s determination to ensure that every facet of Nigerian society has a grasp of the workings of the capital market and its benefits.
According to the SEC Director, the outreach program will be held at the six locations simultaneously on Tuesday May 9, 2023 with an expected participation of a large number of officers and it is hoped that these programs will become a continuous feature in the Corps training programme.
The Commission reiterated its commitment to educate all stakeholders in order to encourage participation by local investors in the local capital market, which is currently dominated by foreign investors.
