The Capital Market Correspondents Association of Nigeria (CAMCAN) has concluded plans for its 2025 annual workshop, scheduled for December 6 and 7 in Lagos.
The event will focus on the theme: “Regulatory Reforms: ISA 2025 and Nigeria’s Investment Climate,” reflecting ongoing conversations about strengthening Nigeria’s regulatory framework and improving market stability.
According to CAMCAN, the forthcoming Investments and Securities Act (ISA) 2025 is expected to modernize the country’s capital market by clarifying regulatory mandates, promoting transparency, reducing systemic vulnerabilities, and supporting investor protection.
The association noted that the legislation represents a significant shift from the 2007 Act and is aimed at aligning Nigeria’s market governance with international standards.
The workshop will bring together regulators, economists, market operators, and financial sector leaders to examine Nigeria’s evolving investment landscape.
The Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dr. Emomotimi Agama, will serve as Special Guest of Honour, while the Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, Alhaji Umaru Kwairanga, will preside over the event.
The keynote address will be delivered by Mr. Abubakar Lawal, the Group Managing Director/CEO of GTI Group.
Also expected are key officials from major capital market institutions, including the CEO of NGX Group, Mr. Temi Popoola, and the Group Chief Operating Officer of FMDQ Group, Ms. Tumi Sekoni.
A panel discussion will follow the keynote address, providing expert perspectives on policy priorities and reform strategies for market development.
CAMCAN stated that insights from the workshop will contribute to national efforts aimed at enhancing financial stability, strengthening investor protection, and modernizing Nigeria’s capital market in the face of ongoing economic challenges.
