Speaking during the Securities and Exchange Commission’s budget defense yesterday in Abuja, Izunaso stated that lawmakers expect the President to sign the bill into law within the next 30 days.

According to him, the Senate President has signed the Investments and Securities Bill 2024 and it has now moved to the Executive for assent. We have 30 days for that to happen and we expect that the President will assent to it.

He stated that the Committee has followed up with a written directive to the minister of Finance to include a N10 billion special fund for investor education in the capital market as part of the 2025 budget.

In his remarks, Senator Anthony Yaro commended the Commission for the approach taken in 2024 adding that with the positive happenings like the ISB and the reduction in deductions, the SEC is expected to perform better.

“I believe these developments will boost your performance in 2025. We know your capacity and what you can do, but you need to do more,” he stated.

The director general of SEC, Dr. Emomotimi Agama expressed the appreciation of the Commission to the National Assembly for the support and contribution of the Committee which has moved the market forward in 2024.

Agama noted that in 2024 Nigeria was one of the best performing markets in the world, saying that “last year, we wished that the federal government’s 50 per cent deduction would be reduced to 20 per cent but we could not achieve that in 2024.

“We are glad to say that with the intervention of the committee and the chairman, the Minister has signed the reduction of the deduction from 50 per cent to 20 per cent. We are hopeful that the implementation will take effect from March 1, 2025,” he stated.

Agama pointed out that the 2024 budget was properly administered, stressing that while projected income was N22.4 billion, gross income received was N26.9 billion with a surplus of 20.34 per cent.

On the reductions in penalties collected in 2024, Agama stated that the role of the Commission is to encourage market participants to comply with laid down rules and regulations.

The SEC DG stated that penalties are charged when participants do not comply adding that the reduction is due to high level of compliance in the market.

Agama explained that the capital market operates a disclosure regime rather than a merit regime adding that “every company and director has a responsibility for figures that disclose to the public. It is our responsibility to monitor the same to ensure that documents provided to members of the public are accurate. If they do not meet standards, such institutions will be penalised.”
