AS part of its efforts to continue to partner with

relevant stakeholders in pursuance of its Corporate social responsibility, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has offered to support indigenous and indigent residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with 50 e-readers tablets to make leaning easier and affordable for the less privileged.

Director General of the Commission, Mounir Gwarzo made this assertion when he received members of the Federal Capital Territory Scholarship Board lead by the Director Administration and Finance (FCT Education Secretariat) Mrs Biki S. Naomi and the Director Scholarship Board Mal. Ahmad I. Rany in his office in Abuja.

He expressed the current Management’s readiness to collaborate with all stakeholders in the Education sector as a means of taking Human capital development and Investor’s Education to greater heights, noting that Scholarship is very important in the quest for the socio-economic development of the nation.

According to the DG, “It is as a result of this collaboration that the SEC will redeem its pledge of the provision of   E-Readers to the two secondary schools in the FCT as part of its earlier commitment and also look into areas to further collaborate with the Board. The SEC is serious about educating Nigerians from all walks of life on investor education to deepen interest in stock market activities in the country”.

Gwarzo assured members of the FCT scholarship board that the SEC will endow a doctorate chair in a university in a topic that will be relevant to capital market appreciation.
