Agama assumes office as acting SEC DG

The newly appointed Director General of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), Dr Emomotimi Agama, has assumed office in acting capacity pending confirmation by the Senate of the National Assembly.

Agama, who resumed at the commission’s head office on Tuesday, promised to ensure that the capital market is well regulated and developed in a bid to contribute to the nation’s economy.

The DG said; “I have come here today to serve you and the institution by sheer providence. We should work together to meet the yearnings and aspirations of the capital market. Let us make this institution better and greater knowing that it is a place that feeds and gives us succour. United we stand, and divided we fall.

 “We are grateful to President Bola Tinubu for finding us worthy of this opportunity and we know that expectations of the market and the country are huge. It is our utmost determination to work together with the staff of the commission to ensure that we deliver on this assignment.”

The acting DG also commended the staff of the commission on their commitment to the SEC and assured that the incoming management will work with the staff union to ensure all lingering staff issues are resolved.
