Circular

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“the Commission”) has become aware of several fraud attempts targeting the investing public and our online community.

These scammers are impersonating the Director General of the Commission – Dr. Emomotimi Agama with the aim of luring unsuspecting members of the public into sharing personal information and making unauthorized payments.

Please be informed that neither the Director General nor any staff of the Commission Would request for personal information about your investments through private phone lines, emails or social media handles.

Official information from the Commission is communicated ONLY through its verified email addresses, website, social media handles, and phone numbers.

Always verify the identity of the person or entity contacting you. If unsure, do not hesitate to immediately contact us directly through [sec@sec.gov.ng] or call [+234 02094621168].

The Commission is committed to the protection of investors in the Nigerian Capital Market and is working diligently to curb scams and other fraudulent activities.
