Nigeria, represented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and other stakeholders, will, in the month of October 2020, join the rest of the world to commemorate the fourth annual World Investor Week (WIW) under the auspices of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).<\/p>\n

SEC DG Mr. Lamido Yuguda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The WIW is a week-long event aimed at raising awareness about the importance of investor education and protection, towards engendering the financial and overall wellbeing of the individual, and particularly in view of the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The WIW key messages for 2020 highlight the basics of investing, including, among other things, the importance of assessing the impact of fees when choosing an investment and understanding that all investments entail risks.<\/p>\n

The WIW will stress messages regarding mobilising savings and investment and will also deliver a key message on financial literacy. While IOSCO is set to commemorate WIW from the 5th to 11th October, jurisdictions are at liberty to choose alternative weeks in October or November, as may be convenient, to stage their events. SEC Nigeria has chosen the week of 26th October, 2020 to stage a series of events in this respect.<\/p>

As part of the commemoration, all the exchanges in Nigeria will be expected to, on the first day of the commemorative week, \u2018ring the bell for financial literacy\u2019. Additionally, the Commission, working with the Financial Literacy Technical Committee (FLTC), will host a webinar titled \u2018Mobilising Savings and Investments\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is worthy of note that the SEC and others players in the capital market have, over time, continually sought to boost the level and quality of financial literacy in Nigeria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
