[FULL LIST] SEC May Withdraw Registration Certificate Of 157 Capital Market Operators

The Securities and Exchange Commission may soon withdraw the registration certificates of about 157 inactive Capital Market Operators (CMOs).

The Commission issued a pre-notice for the cancellation or withdrawal of the certificates and posted the same on its website.

It said the decision followed the failure of the operators to render their statutory returns to the Commission and added that they either had their capital eroded or were affected by policy changes.

The notice requested affected CMOs to make presentations to the Commission on or before Nov. 13, giving reasons why their registration should not be cancelled.

It urged the CMOs to forward hard copies of their presentations to its head office while electronic copies should be sent to inspectorate@sec.gov.ng and also to monitoring@sec.gov.ng

“In view of this fact, the Commission hereby requests the affected capital market operators (CMOs) to make presentations to the Commission, on or before 13th November, 2020, giving reasons why their registration should not be cancelled,” the circular stated.
