SEC, Judiciary collaborate on Investor Protection



The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Nigerian Judiciary have pledged to collaborate in a bid to boost investor confidence in the dispute resolution mechanisms available in the Nigerian capital market.

Director General of SEC, Mounir Gwarzo disclosed this at the 2016 Judges Workshop organized in collaboration with the National Judicial Institute (NJI) in Abuja, Wednesday.

He said the excellent collaboration between the Apex regulator of the Capital market and the judiciary is crucial to ensure that the rights of investors are protected.

According to Gwarzo, Capital markets encompass all parts of the financial system where long-term equity or debt securities are bought and sold. By definition, such markets are highly specialized and governed by distinct sets of rules and regulations.
