Edun, who stated this during the inauguration of the board in Abuja, yesterday, expressed excitement at the composition of the board and urged the members to put in their best, be courageous, bold, open to innovation and be willing to accept the challenge of regulating new areas.

The finance minister stated that, financial technology and communications are areas that are fast advancing, and with the advent of Artificial Intelligence, digital currency among others, there is a need for the regulator to be knowledgeable to be able to provide guidance and necessary approvals.

Edun told the SEC board to be willing to accept the challenge of regulating in these new areas, particularly, crypto as they are fast moving complex area, adding that they also have to watch out for regulatory arbitrage where a company with a portfolio of huge sophisticated transactions now comes and takes the lowest level of registration that they can just so they can say they are licensed and regulated.

Also, the chairman of the SEC board, Mairiga Katuka assured the minister that the new board will harness their individual and collective expertise, innovation and passion to drive growth in line with the commission’s dual mandate of developing and regulating a capital market that is fair and efficient.
