The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revealed that the on-going plan to introduce capital market studies in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Institutions, has reached an advance stage.
Its Director-General, Lamido Yuguda, revealed this in a statement while announcing that the SEC, in collaboration with the Financial Literacy Technical Committee (FLTC), is set to join the rest of the world between Monday, 24 and Friday, 28 October, 2022, to celebrate the 6th edition of the 2022 World Investor Week (WIW), being coordinated by the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
The key message of the IOSCO WIW campaign for this year is based on two themes; “Investor Resilience; and Sustainable Finance”.
Speaking at the event, Yuguda stated that the SEC and other players in the capital market have, over time, frequently sought to enhance the level and quality of financial literacy in Nigeria, adding that
“Major among the recent initiatives is the on- going plan to introduce capital market studies in Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Institutions, a project which has reached an advanced stage. It is without doubt that the delivery of this project will change the face of financial literacy in Nigeria.”
