The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says it is holding investor clinics in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt as part of activities marking the World Investor Week 2024 from October 7 to 11.
Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Dr Emomotimi Agama, who revealed this Wednesday in Abuja, said the clinics will be held in the commission’s zonal offices in the aforementioned locations, the head office in Abuja as well as at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria Conference at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
The SEC DG said the clinics will afford investors the opportunity of having various issues relating to their participation in the capital market addressed as well as educate intending investors on the workings of the investment climate.
He said it is also an opportunity for investors to attend the investor clinic to resolve issues with their investments, make inquiries, mandate their e-dividend accounts and also directly engage with the capital market players (Stock Brokers, Registrars and Fund Managers).
