The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has launched its newly redesigned website, reinforcing its mission to improve transparency, strengthen investor protection, and modernize capital market regulation.
Announced on Monday, the new digital platform reflects the SEC’s commitment to engaging stakeholders more effectively while ensuring access to accurate and timely financial information.
Key Features of the New SEC Nigeria Website
The redesigned website introduces several improvements tailored to investors, market operators, and the general public:
- Intuitive Navigation – A simplified menu structure allows faster access to regulatory guidelines, investor alerts, and publications.
- Consolidated Resources – Important documents and updates are logically organized for quick access.
- Mobile Optimization – A fully responsive design ensures seamless browsing across smartphones, tablets, and desktops.
SEC Director-General Emomotimi Agama noted that the digital upgrade enhances regulatory transparency:
This digital advancement is a significant step in building a more transparent and accessible Commission. It reflects our dedication to continuous improvement in service delivery and communication.”
Executive Commissioner for Corporate Services, Samiya Usman, added that the redesign is not just cosmetic but strategic:
“By simplifying access and logically organizing content, we have created a powerful platform that supports our mission to regulate a fair, efficient, and transparent capital market.”
Why the New Website Matters
The SEC’s move comes at a time when fraudulent investment platforms are on the rise in Nigeria. In 2025 alone, several unregistered entities have been flagged for running illegal schemes without regulatory approval.
Among them are:
- GVEST Global – Recently labeled a Ponzi scheme.
- Pocket Option – Marketed as an online investment adviser/fund manager.
- Forsman & Bodenfors LTD (F&B) – Falsely claiming links to a Swedish advertising company.
- Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) – Tied to massive investor losses.
- Sapphire Scents Limited – Running unregistered fund management schemes.
The Commission stressed that investors engaging with these entities do so at their own risk. This warning aligns with the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, which expands SEC’s powers to regulate Ponzi schemes and enforce stricter penalties on violators.
Bottom Line
The launch of SEC Nigeria’s new website marks a major step toward creating a more transparent, efficient, and investor-friendly capital market. It not only improves digital access for stakeholders but also strengthens the Commission’s broader fight against fraudulent investment schemes.
Investors and market participants are encouraged to explore the platform and stay informed through official updates.
