Justice Mahmud Mohammed, while declaring open the 2016 workshop for judges on legal issues in the capital market, organized by the Securities and Exchange Commission in collaboration with the National Judicial Institute (NJI) holding in Abuja, added that the entrenchment of sound adjudicatory processes must be seen as a precursor to a world class market and so, which must be accorded priority. According to the CJN, the ongoing capital market reforms embarked upon by the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] are aimed at building a world class capital market with the underlying need to boost investor confidence in the dispute resolution mechanisms available in the Nigeria capital market. SEC-Judge-workshop Represented by Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed at the occasion, the CJN said that all over the world, capital markets are principally established to mobilize long-term capital for investment and productive purposes even as the capital markets play a very significant role in our society because they enhance industrial growth and aid socioeconomic development by expediting the rate of capital formation, fostering free enterprise, promoting creativity, advancement and good governance. Speaking on, ‘’Current Reforms in the Nigeria Capital Market and the role of the Securities and Exchange Commission,’’ former Acting Director-General and Executive Commissioner, Operations of SEC, Ms. Daisy Ekinelu said ‘’Reforms have been introduced to address specific concerns such as unclaimed dividends, corporate governance and compliant management, reforms have also taken a comprehensive form, all aspects of the capital market for transformation purposes.” In his welcome address, the Director-General of SEC, Mounir Haliru Gwarzo said that the interactive workshop is one of such engagements conceptualized as a platform to hear from the judiciary, the most critical stakeholder in dispute resolution.]]>
