The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has unveiled its newly redesigned website, signalling a major step toward strengthening digital engagement, regulatory transparency, and investor protection.
The announcement, made on Monday, underscored the Commission’s commitment to modernising operations and improving access to critical financial information.
According to the SEC, the upgraded platform features a sleek, mobile-responsive design, streamlined navigation, and consolidated resources tailored for investors, market operators, and the general public.

“This digital advancement is a significant step in building a more transparent and accessible Commission,” said SEC Director-General Emomotimi Agama. “It enhances our engagement with the capital market and the investing public and reflects our dedication to continuous improvement in service delivery and communication.”
Among its new features, the website offers:
- Intuitive Navigation: Simplified menus for faster access to key information.
- Consolidated Resources: Easier access to regulatory guidelines, publications, and investor alerts.
- Mobile Optimisation: A responsive design for seamless browsing across devices.
Executive Commissioner for Corporate Services, Samiya Usman, stressed that the upgrade was not merely cosmetic. “By simplifying access and logically organising 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 urged stakeholders to explore the new platform for regulatory updates, market news, and investor services.
The website launch comes as the Commission intensifies its fight against fraudulent investment promoters exploiting Nigerians’ appetite for high returns.
In 2025 alone, the SEC has flagged several entities for operating unlicensed schemes, including:
- GVEST Global – labelled a Ponzi scheme by the SEC.
- Pocket Option – presented as an online investment adviser/fund manager.
- Forsman & Bodenfors LTD (F&B) – falsely claiming ties to a Swedish advertising firm.
- Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) – linked to massive investor losses.
- Sapphire Scents Limited – running unregistered investment operations under the guise of fund management.
“These platforms are not authorised to solicit funds or offer investment services in Nigeria,” the Commission warned, stressing that investors engaging with them “do so at their own risk.”
The clampdown forms part of SEC’s broader strategy under the newly enacted Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, which expands its jurisdiction over Ponzi schemes and strengthens enforcement measures to hold perpetrators accountable.
By combining digital transformation with stricter oversight, SEC Nigeria is seeking to reinforce market integrity and restore investor confidence in the country’s capital markets.
