N​igeria names n​ew ​head of Securities Commission

A new Director General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, was on Monday named.

He is Mounir Gwarzo, the incumbent Executive Commissioner (Operations) of the Commission, who is expected to perform in acting capacity till a substantive official is appointed.

The appointment of Mr. Gwarzo, followed the exit of Arunma Oteh, whose five years tenure at the capital market regulatory agency lapsed on Sunday.

The outgoing Director General, who named Mr. Gwarzo at the formal handover ceremony at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja, described her time at the helm of the Commission as “absolutely outstanding”.

Ms. Oteh’s spoke about the co-operation she received from every member of staff, saying when she joined SEC in January 2010, she was not only certain about its importance, but also what its role and agenda which was to have a vision “building a world class market” capital market operators, shareholders and other stakeholders were able to connect and align with, she said. She said her time was very rewarding.

What SEC was able to achieve, Ms. Oteh explained, was a foundation for the country to see a capital market that would help tackle its infrastructure challenges to help new and existing businesses raise capital.

“Our aim is to build a meritocracy for viable businesses to get funded, not necessarily the ones that have connections, so that we can also tackle some of what we are seeing in our world today, whether security challenges the country face or everyone else,” Ms. Oteh said.

Ms. Oteh joined SEC at a time the Nigerian capital market was grappling with global financial market crisis.

She was acknowledged to have contributed significantly to the effort to rescue the capital market from the losses as a result of the global financial crisis.
