The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will unveil two new digital products—a USSD service and ISA Audio—at the fourth quarter Capital Market Committee (CMC) meeting scheduled for December 8, 2025, at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos. The initiative is part of the Commission’s broader commitment to deepen market access, democratize information, and strengthen investor engagement.
The SEC also announced that its usual media engagement will hold the following day, December 9, providing journalists with updates on key regulatory developments.
According to the Commission, the upcoming CMC meeting will interrogate critical economic and regulatory themes essential to the sustainable development of Nigeria’s capital market. The agenda includes discussions on global macroeconomic shifts and the ways in which international financial conditions continue to transmit shocks into domestic markets.
A major focus will also be the role of cross-border financial integration across Africa, and how Nigeria can leverage regional capital flows for economic expansion.
Other key deliberations are expected to cover unlocking pension fund investments for market development, enhancing liquidity across asset classes, and accelerating innovation through targeted regulatory reforms.
One of the central items of the programme is the review of the Capital Market Master Plan (CMMP). The SEC will assess major achievements under the 2025 Master Plan, formally mark its sunset, and outline the strategy for the next phase—the 2030 CMMP, which will guide the market’s long-term transformation.
The meeting will further feature an analytical session on Nigeria’s recent tax reform legislation, examining its implications for capital market efficiency, product competitiveness, and investor confidence.
The Commission noted that these discussions align with its strategic resolve to reposition Nigeria’s capital market as a catalyst for inclusive and sustainable economic growth, consistent with national priorities and global best practices.
The CMC, an industry-wide body comprising the SEC, capital market operators, trade groups, and other key stakeholders, remains the primary platform for policy dialogue, collaborative problem-solving, and coordinated market development. The committee enables participants to exchange ideas, address industry challenges, and provide feedback that strengthens regulatory oversight.
This quarter’s meeting is expected to attract chief executives from all registered capital market firms, including brokers/dealers, investment advisers, custodians, fund and portfolio managers, among others
