The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced a proposed bill aimed at imposing a fine of N20 million on individuals and entities involved in operating Ponzi schemes.
The initiative is part of SEC’s ongoing efforts to curb fraudulent investment activities that have defrauded countless Nigerians of their hard-earned money. The proposed law seeks to establish stricter penalties to deter perpetrators and safeguard the financial interests of the public.
Speaking on the development, a representative of SEC emphasized the importance of creating a more robust legal framework to address the growing menace of illegal investment schemes. The bill also includes provisions to improve investor education and enhance public awareness about the risks associated with unregulated financial ventures.
If passed into law, the legislation is expected to significantly strengthen the Commission’s ability to combat financial fraud and promote trust in Nigeria’s investment landscape. Financial experts have welcomed the move, describing it as a necessary step toward protecting investors and stabilizing the economy.
