The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has unveiled a state-of-the-art digital Regulatory Hub, aimed at enhancing oversight and fostering coordination across Nigeria’s financial and capital markets.

The new platform will serve as a centralized hub for regulatory collaboration, enabling seamless information-sharing among key agencies, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA).

According to the SEC, the hub provides “a single window for regulators to share data, respond to requests, and collaborate seamlessly in safeguarding our financial and capital markets.” The initiative is expected to improve market integrity, speed up decision-making, and enhance investor confidence.

The launch comes as part of broader reforms under the Investment and Securities Act (ISA) 2025, which expanded the SEC’s regulatory scope to include digital assets, exchanges, commodities, and other market infrastructures. The hub is also positioned to tackle emerging threats such as unregistered digital-asset exchanges, illicit wallets, and other financial misconduct.

“By providing a platform for real-time regulatory collaboration, we are ensuring that Nigeria’s financial markets remain robust, transparent, and investor-friendly,” the SEC stated.

With Nigeria’s financial sector rapidly adopting digital finance and fintech innovations, the hub represents a timely step toward modernized, efficient, and technology-driven regulation. Stakeholders and regulators can register to access the platform via the SEC’s official portal.

Implications: Analysts suggest the hub could streamline compliance processes, reduce regulatory gaps, and safeguard investors in an increasingly digital financial ecosystem. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
