\"\"The Securities and Exchange Commission has restated its commitment to ensuring that technology plays a major role in enabling the nation\u2019s capital market attain its full potentials.<\/p>\n

Director General of the SEC, Mr. Lamido Yuguda stated this during a meeting with the Management Team of Financial Sector Deepening Africa in Abuja, weekend.<\/p>\n

FSD Africa\u2019s support is centred around the development of capital markets master plans, conducting institutional capacity assessments, and creating capacity for sustainable finance such as green bonds, helping markets to adapt to their operating climate.<\/p>\n

Yuguda expressed the Commission\u2019s delight with the support from FSD Africa in the areas of Human Resource transformation, Information Technology Strategy as well as Capital Market Master Plan review.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot but express my support to FSD Africa for the various support they have given to the Commission in various areas. We are very excited about the Human Resource Transformation exercise as the report will assist the Commission in profound ways that will lead to optimal productivity of staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you are doing is commendable, you are looking at African financial markets and trying to assist to ensure that productivity and development is enhanced. We therefore assure you that these investments are well placed and we will continue to work to earn the confidence that you have in us\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are glad with all the assistance we have received, the Master plan review has been concluded by PWC and we hope that the implementation of the Capital Market Master Plan will deepen our market and improve the capital market\u2019s contribution to our economic growth and national development. To this end, the review of the Capital Market Master Plan better positions the SEC to deliver on these objectives in these very challenging times. The FSD Africa and SEC Nigeria\u2019s laudable partnership underscores our mutual goals to build financial markets that are robust, efficient and above all inclusive\u201d<\/p>\n

The SEC DG disclosed that the current Management is also looking at other sources of support so that the march towards that Commission that everyone wants to see in the future is very fast and very efficient.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Commission has also been doing a number of things to ensure that the aim of these support is not defeated. Since we came in we have prioritised the issue of human resource management, we want to leave behind a culture of excellence<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the considerable assistance on IT. What we have done too is to explore domestic sources of funding for our IT infrastructure and thankfully, we are making tremendous progress in that regard\u201d He added.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Chief Executive Office FDS Africa, Mr. Mike Napier expressed excitement that the SEC decided to embark on the various initiatives in a bid to have a stronger and better capital market regulator which translates into a well regulated market.<\/p>\n

Napier said well-functioning capital markets can play a vital role in support of inclusive economic growth by channelling long term finance into infrastructure and other large-scale projects that create jobs and improve access to markets, adding that trengthening regulatory capacity in capital markets is an essential pre-condition for building investor confidence.<\/p>

He said, \u201cWe are very happy that you have taken these challenges to embark on these various initiatives to ensure that your processes are better which will ultimately lead to a better regulator for the capital market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn FSD Africa we are embracing innovation and that is why we are providing support for these various projects, it is a long journey but we know we will get there at the end of it all\u201d He stated.<\/p>\n

Napier expressed satisfaction with the SEC for embracing innovation in a bid to becoming a progressive regulator stating that across Africa there are not many organisations that are able to do this especially given the issues of paucity of funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe big one would be when the market players note the changes in the SEC and the transformations that have taken place. We are glad you are on that journey and we hope it will end well\u201d He added.<\/p>\n
