Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is the apex regulator for Nigeria's capital markets, overseeing investment firms, stockbrokers, and capital market operators. The SEC licenses and supervises entities dealing in securities under the Investments and Securities Act. Retail forex trading in Nigeria is primarily conducted through internationally licensed offshore brokers, as most global forex platforms operate outside the SEC's direct jurisdiction. The SEC works alongside the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which oversees foreign exchange policy and regulates authorised dealers in the interbank FX market.
