A milestone for Nigeria’s capital market
The Investment and Securities Act 2025 replaces the outdated 2007 legislation, ushering in crucial regulatory reforms to enhance investor protection, market efficiency, and financial innovation. It aligns the local capital market with international best practices by expanding the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulatory powers to meet global standards set by the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO).
Some key provisions of the new law include:
- Classification of exchanges into Composite and Non-composite categories.
- Legal backing for financial market infrastructure, including clearing houses and central counterparties.
- Recognition of virtual assets and investment contracts as securities, bringing digital asset operators under SEC oversight.
- A structured framework for commodity markets and warehouse receipt systems.
- More vigorous enforcement against Ponzi schemes to protect investors from fraudulent schemes.
- Expanded fundraising opportunities for sub-national governments through the capital market.
