The statement said that SEC’s Executive Commissioner Corporate Services, Zakawanu Garuban revealed this at the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) annual meeting in Riode Janeiro, Brazil.
According to the statement, the market master plan is also aimed at ensuring the guided growth of the Nigerian capital market up to 2025.
Garuba also noted that the 10-year plan seeks to diversify the sources of capital and enable all the stakeholders in the Nigerian capital market to plan ahead.
