SEC Nigeria launches new website to boost transparency and investor safety 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has officially launched its newly redesigned website, marking a significant step toward enhancing digital engagement, regulatory transparency, and investor protection.

The announcement, made on Monday, emphasized the Commission’s commitment to modernizing its operations and improving access to critical financial information.

According to the SEC, the upgraded platform introduces a sleek, mobile-responsive design, improved navigation, and consolidated resources tailored to investors, market operators, and the general public.

The redesign aims to streamline user experience while reinforcing the Commission’s role as a watchdog of Nigeria’s capital markets.

Samiya Usman, Executive Commissioner for Corporate Services, emphasized that the redesign goes beyond aesthetics. “By simplifying access and logically organizing content, we have created a powerful platform that supports our mission to develop and regulate a fair, efficient, and transparent capital market,” she said.

The SEC has encouraged stakeholders to explore the new platform and utilize its features for accessing regulatory updates, market news, and investor services.

The website launch comes amid the Commission’s aggressive clampdown on fraudulent investment promoters exploiting Nigerians’ appetite for high returns.

In 2025 alone, the SEC has flagged multiple platforms for operating illegal schemes without proper registration or regulatory approval.

The SEC reiterated that these platforms are not authorized to solicit funds or offer investment services in Nigeria. “Investors engaging with these entities do so at their own risk,” the Commission warned.

This crackdown aligns with the SEC’s broader strategy to enhance market integrity and protect investors, as outlined in the newly enacted Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025. The Act expands the Commission’s jurisdiction over Ponzi schemes and strengthens enforcement mechanisms to hold perpetrators accountable.
