Mounir Gwazo Ag D-G SEC

Executive Commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in charge of operations, Mr. Mounir  Gwarzo,has assumed position as the  acting director general (D-G) of the commission following exit  of Ms Arunma Oteh.

Oteh handed over to Gwarzo  as acting DG pending the appointment of a substantive DG for the commission.

The management of SEC said in a statement that while speaking at the handing over ceremony, Oteh  described her  five-year tenure as absolutely outstanding attributing it to the co-operation she received from every member of staff.

She said: “When I joined SEC in January 2010, I was absolutely certain about why the SEC was important and what it’s role and what the agenda was. I was able to articulate it in one phrase “building a world class market.

“To have a vision and have everyone being able to connect and align around it for me whether it is capital market operators, whether its shareholders and other stakeholders for me, it is something that I find very rewarding. But I don’t think it would have been possible without each and every one of you accepting the challenge to try something in a different way or to do something in a way that you are not quite sure what will happen.”

According to her, the commission has been able to lay a foundation for the nation to see a capital market that will help tackle  its infrastructure challenges that will help people who are setting up businesses, who own businesses raise millions of naira in capital.

“Our aim is to build a meritocracy so that it is the good things that get funded, not necessarily the things that have connections so that we can also tackle some of what we are seeing in our world today, whether it is security challenges we face or the security challenges that everybody faces. My view is that one of the things that will address it is if people can feel that they are included, that they have economic access that they can create wealth, that the income inequalities that we see around us can be addressed. And I believe that the capital market is the answer and what we have done in the last five years is to lay a foundation; there is still a lot of work to be done” Oteh said.

She therefore appealed to the staff to continue to work hard and support the leadership to ensure that the brand that has been built is not taken away.

Gwarzo was born 50 years ago in Kano and attended Bayero University, Kano and graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Economics in 1987.  In 1991, he proceeded to the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom where he obtained a Post Graduate Degree in Development Finance.  Mr. Gwarzo is an associate  and associate  and fellow of the Chartered Institute of Stockbrokers (CIS).

He has acted in Nigerian Capital Market as an operator and a regulator.  This is evident from the caliber of institutions he has served in during his working career that spans a period of 25 years. The institutions include Ministry of Trade Kano State, the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Century Merchant Bank Limited, Empire Securities Limited, The Securities and Exchange Commission, Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria and MTL Global Investment Limited.

Gwarzo has been a participant at several courses both home and abroad some of which are: The Securities Market Regulation which is the leading training program in securities regulation in the world by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Development of Bonds Markets in Johannesburg, South Africa, Assets Backed Securities and Mortgage Securitization in Singapore, Operational and Credit Risk Management in Dubai, and Advanced Management Programs (AMPS) at INSEAD (The Premier Management Institute in Europe), Paris as well as at SAID Business School Templeton College, University of Oxford, United Kingdom.
