The Securities and Exchange Commission has intensified efforts to reduce unclaimed funds and dormant investment assets by launching a Probate/Unclaimed Monies Awareness and Investor Clinic aimed at helping beneficiaries recover inherited investments and strengthening investor protection in Nigeria’s capital market.
Speaking at the opening of the clinic in Abuja, organised by the commission in partnership with Meristem on Thursday, the Director-General of SEC, Dr Emomotimi Agama, said the initiative was designed to bridge the gap between investors’ legal entitlements and their ability to access inherited assets.
