by

The Birth and origin of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was traced back to the year 1962, when an ad hoc consultative and advisory body, known as the Capital Issues Committee, was first formed under the aegis of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).  Its basic objective was to examine applications from companies seeking to gather Funds from the capital market and recommend the timing of such issues to prevent issues clustering which could overstretch the market’s capacity. The Committee carried out it duties within the Central Bank of Nigeria unofficially as a capital market consultative and advisory body with no regulatory framework.
