The Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Youth Service Corps have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at fostering a culture of responsible investing among young Nigerians.
Under the agreement, both institutions will collaborate on financial literacy programmes designed to equip corps members with knowledge of the capital market and encourage informed investment decisions. The initiative is expected to be integrated into orientation and post-camp activities nationwide.
Officials said the partnership seeks to address the growing exposure of youths to unregulated investment schemes by promoting awareness of legitimate opportunities and the risks associated with fraudulent platforms.
The SEC noted that the move forms part of its broader strategy to deepen participation in Nigeria’s capital market, while the NYSC emphasised the importance of empowering young people with financial knowledge that supports long-term economic stability.
