The Federal Government has called on legal experts, capital market regulators and financial experts to contribute to strengthening the regulatory framework of the capital market.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Wale Edun, stated this during a one-day sensitisation seminar organised by the Investments and Securities Tribunal (IST) for judges, lawyers and law students in Abuja.
The Minister emphasised the importance of a robust capital market for the nation’s economic growth and development. He noted that the seminar was aimed at increasing awareness of the IST’s role in resolving capital market disputes.
The IST Chairman, Amos Azi, highlighted the tribunal’s role in ensuring a fair and transparent capital market.
The establishment of the IST, he said, was a recognition of the need for an efficient dispute resolution mechanism within the sector.

A key highlight of the event was the unveiling of the IST’s Kano Zonal Office, a modern facility designed to enhance the tribunal’s operations.
The Minister and the IST expressed optimism that these initiatives would position the tribunal as a leading authority in capital market dispute resolution, both nationally and internationally.
By engaging with stakeholders and expanding its operational reach, the IST aims to strengthen investor confidence and contribute to the overall development of the Nigerian capital market.
