SEC Launches Fintech Clinic to Strengthen Regulator Dialogue
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has inaugurated a regulator–financial technology clinic to deepen dialogue with Nigeria’s rapidly expanding financial technology ecosystem.
In a notice issued in Abuja on Tuesday, the commission said the initiative aimed to align innovation with regulatory compliance while protecting investors.
The Director-General of SEC, Dr Emomotimi Agama, described collaboration between regulators and innovators as one of the most dynamic aspects of Nigeria’s financial system.
According to him, responsible innovation requires regulatory frameworks that are both protective and adaptable.
“The clinic forms part of a continuous review process to ensure our rules remain proportionate, responsive and aligned with market realities.
“Clarity, predictability and trust are critical conditions for innovation to thrive.
“Regulatory frameworks must evolve in tandem with technological advancements.
“As we launch this inaugural clinic, our goal is to align innovation with integrity, growth with governance and technology with trust,” he said.
Agama reiterated that innovation must be matched with robust governance to ensure sustainable growth and strengthen investor confidence. Stanbic IBTC Hits 52-Week High in Fresh Rally
