Nigeria: Commodities exchanges, warehouses can unlock $500bln — SEC
The Director General, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dr. Emomotimi Agama has disclosed that by formalising Commodities and Warehouse receipts the capital market can unlock $500 billion indormant agricultural and mineral assets. Dr Agama who stated this at a national workshop of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers in Abuja Tuesday, said the move would transform them into tradable securities. He noted that it would help the economy diversify from the oil and gas industry, and create wealth for the country. Agama explained that the Investments and Securities Act 2025 has empowered the SEC to take decisive actions to promote the sector. 'The Act sharpens the SEC's regulatory focus, ensuring it operates with the precision and authority required to steward a rapidly expanding market', he stated. He added: 'Today, I speak not just about the Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025 as a legislative milestone, but as a strategic blueprint to propel Nigeria into the league of top global economie. It dismantles legacyconstraints, embeds global best practices, and positions our market as the engine room for national prosperity. The question before us is no longer if Nigeria can achieve a $1 trillion economy, but how soon—and the capital market, under this new Act, will be the accelerant'. The SEC DG stressed that the Commission 'now has explicit powersto shut down Ponzi schemes and prosecute offenders—ending the eraof 'get-rich-quick' scams that erode market confidence. 'Investors are now covered for losses from revoked dealer licenses—a long-awaited safeguard that will boost participation. Trust is the currency of our capital markets. Without it, liquidity dries up' Copyright © 2022 Nigerian Tribune Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc. (

Egyptian businesses ready to invest in Nigeria — Envoy
The Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Immigration and Expatriates, Badr Abdel Aaty, has expressed the readiness of Businessmen, Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of Egyptian origin, to commence offering goods and services in Nigeria. Aaty disclosed this when he paid a courtesy visit to his Nigerian counterpart, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar in Abuja on Monday. Accompanied by CEOs of the 30 biggest companies in Egypt, the Minister listed agriculture, pharmaceuticals, industry, energy, mineral, oil, and gas as some of the areas of interest to the investors. 'I'm l eading a big delegation. We have more than 30 giant companies in Egypt, in different sectors, in agriculture, in pharmaceuticals, in industry, in energy, in mineral, oil and gas, you name it. They are here because there are a lot of opportunities, a conducive environment for investment and we are committed to come, to invest, to do business here based on a win-win situation', he said. Speaking further, Aaty lamented that the trade relationship between Nigeria and Egypt was far below what it should be: 'The current trade volume between our two countries does not meet or correspond with the weight of two giants in Africa, Nigeria and Egypt. 'This is very minimal. We have to double and even triple the trade volume in order to match the weight of the two countries. And we are fully committed, we have the political will from Nigeria, from Egypt to do and I'm fully committed to work with my dear brother Minister Yusuf to hopefully double and triple the trade volume in the near future', he said. He, however, informed that they were working on instructions to the heads of government of both countries to enhance bilateral cooperation relations. 'Our political relationship is more than excellent, but we have to do more on economic trade and investment based on a win-win situation. Nigeria is the largest country in Africa. Nigeria is the gateway to Africa, not only to the west and central Africa, but to all of Africa. 'That's why, as my brother Youssef mentioned, I'm starting my tour from here, from Abuja, in recognition of the strategic status of this great country. The two leaders met before in Rio de Janeiro on the side of the G20 meeting and they agreed to elevate our relationship into a comprehensive and strategic partnership and this is our task as foreign ministers to do more and to enhance our cooperation', he said. Responding, Amb. Tuggar noted that they had good intentions and expressed readiness to expedite actions on their request: 'They have one of the largest players that has successfully reclaimed record amounts of land, turned desert into fertile land that is producing food in Egypt. They have come here, and they are interested in investing and participating in Nigeria. 'Of course, there are some of the other players, for instance, the power and energy sector, electricity and swede, the likes of them are already here. They are looking at opportunities in gas and in the mineral sector. 'Both countries are also going to establish a joint commission so that all of these initiatives, including the chamber of commerce that we have, would be subsumed under that so that we can drive it faster,' he said.
