Agama re-elected IOSCO regional vice chair<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Securities and Exchange Commission Nigeria has announced the re-election of its director-general, Emomotimi Agama, as the Vice Chair of the Africa\/Middle East Regional Committee of the International Organization of Securities Commissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appointment, confirmed for a second term spanning 2026\u20132028, solidifies Nigeria\u2019s influence within the global standard setters for the securities industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the SEC, by retaining this position, Nigeria maintains its critical seat on the IOSCO Board, the organisation\u2019s highest policy-making body. The Commission noted that this role is pivotal for ensuring that Nigeria\u2019s regulatory priorities are represented when global standards for financial markets are being drafted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEC and Director-General Agama highlighted the specific goals for this new term through a statement: \u201cBeyond representation, this development enhances Nigeria\u2019s ability to contribute meaningfully to global regulatory dialogue, particularly in areas such as enforcement cooperation, market integrity, and investor protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt creates a stronger platform for collaboration with other jurisdictions on cross-border regulatory issues, including tackling illicit financial flows and strengthening supervisory frameworks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, this milestone reinforces Nigeria\u2019s position as a leading voice in regional and global capital market development. It is expected to contribute to building a more resilient, transparent, and robust capital market ecosystem\u201d, the SEC statement added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 1983, IOSCO members regulate more than 95 per cent of the world\u2019s securities markets. For Nigeria, this re-election is viewed by industry analysts as a \u201cvote of confidence\u201d from peer regulators in the country\u2019s recent regulatory progress and its commitment to aligning with international best practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SEC remains focused on leveraging this international platform to foster investor confidence and facilitate increased participation in global financial markets through 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
