Director-general of SEC, Dr. Emomotimi Agama stated this at the inauguration of a committee to review the curriculum already approved by the National Universities Commission on securities and investment management for Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions with Uche Uwaleke, professor of Capital Market Studies of the Nasarawa State University, Keffi, as chairman.

Agama said the initiative which has been ongoing remains a priority to the commission as part of its efforts to equip future professionals with relevant capital market knowledge and skills.

“Due to new developments in fintech, cyber security, Artificial Intelligence and others, there is a need to expand the curriculum to accommodate the new trends. It is an important time and we want to latch in to be able to teach Nigerians, especially the young people about the capital market. In the light of this, the Commission has set up a Committee to review and enrich the existing curriculum to reflect these advancements.

“It is sad that people do not have a full grasp of capital market issues, we must do everything to share knowledge and educate people. We want to be the best Capital market among nations and that can only be possible due to the superiority of our knowledge. You are well placed to do this being in the Ivory Towers and I thank you for accepting to serve as we look forward to a robust discussion,” he said, according to a statement that was issued yesterday.

Agama disclosed that the terms of reference of the committee include: review the NUC curriculum on securities and investment management to include non-interest capital market (NICM); the commodities ecosystem; financial derivatives market; sustainable finance, and capital market regulations; expand the “Introduction to Cryptocurrency” section of the NUC curriculum to reflect current developments.; and develop a standard capital market studies curriculum to be a d o p t e d by Nigerian universities and other tertiary institutions.

 

In his remarks, Prof Uwaleke expressed appreciation to the management of the commission for finding members of the committee fit and trusted to carry out the assignment saying that they consider it a national assignment.

 

“We know that part of our challenge is because our retail investor base is shallow in relation to our population and one way to change the narrative is through capital market literacy. We as lecturers can attest to the fact that capital market literacy within the academic environment is low and I think tackling that is one low hanging fruit.

 

“I am aware that the DG and others have been trying to increase the level of awareness with various programmes like quiz, essays, investor clinics and others, but for us to make more impact, we need to focus on tertiary institutions and that is why I think what we are doing is very crucial, ” he stated.

 

Uwaleke assured that the members will add value given their track record, saying that the objectives and Terms of Reference of the Committee would be achieved.
