The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) launches a nationwide campaign to help Nigerians recover dormant capital market assets, including unclaimed dividends and inherited shares or other investments. The effort is unveiled in Abuja and includes a Probate/Unclaimed Monies Awareness and Investor Clinic aimed at guiding investors and beneficiaries through the recovery process.
The outlets describe the campaign as part of broader investor-protection and market-integrity efforts, with a focus on reducing unclaimed assets in Nigeria’s capital market. Legit.ng highlights a “step-by-step process” for recovery, while Vanguard adds that the initiative is framed as an investor clinic and awareness program. Both accounts emphasize that the SEC is reaching out to investors and beneficiaries to assist them in claiming amounts or transferring ownership where applicable. The sources do not provide detailed eligibility rules or timelines, focusing instead on the launch and purpose of the initiative.
