“The Commission is organising the event in collaboration with the Fund Managers Association of Nigeria (FMAN) to also expose the Officers to legitimate channels of investments and the Association of Dealing Houses of Nigeria (ASHON) to address issues that relate to investments and unclaimed dividends and other related matters.

“This enlightenment programme is part of our commitment to developing the capital market, appraising investors of the products available in the market as well as our functions and roles in restoring investors’ confidence” SEC stated.
