Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Nigeria has given its full backing to the upcoming Conference/Workshop on Harnessing Capital Market Opportunities for the Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Investment Sustainability, scheduled for May 2025.
This development marks a significant milestone for Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka, as its Centre for Capital Market Studies takes the lead in fostering financial literacy, deepening market participation, and enhancing access to capital for SMEs across the country. Stakeholders, industry experts, academics, and entrepreneurs are expected to participate in what promises to be a groundbreaking event, this writer reliably gathered.
In a letter addressed to Prof. Chinedu Onyeizugbe, Director of the Centre for Capital Market Studies, SEC Nigeria commended the Centre’s commitment to financial education and inclusivity, emphasizing the workshop’s alignment with the Commission’s broader mandate. The letter, signed by Bola Ajomale, Executive Commissioner, Operations, on behalf of SEC Director General, Dr. Emomotimi John Agama, expressed SEC’s enthusiasm to collaborate, pledging active participation in the event.
Speaking on this landmark partnership, Prof. Onyeizugbe, alongside his Deputy Director, Prof. Promise Oparah, reaffirmed the Centre’s readiness to work closely with SEC in delivering a world-class event that will not only enlighten SMEs but also connect them to sustainable investment opportunities.
The success of this initiative would not have been possible without the visionary leadership of the Acting Vice-Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Prof. Joseph Ifeanyichukwu Ikechebelu, whose support has created an enabling environment for impactful research and academic excellence. His confidence in the Centre’s leadership has further strengthened UNIZIK’s reputation as a hub for innovation and economic development.
