  The Securities and Exchange Commission plans to provide a platform for selected players in the Commodities Trading Ecosystem, the Capital Market and other relevant industry members to engage with mining companies with the intention of discussing opportunities for long-term funding in the Nigerian Capital Market via a workshop. This according to the Commission is part of the implementation of the capital market master plan and part of the strategies to foster a thriving commodity-trading ecosystem, over the next few years. The master plan designates commodities exchanges as critical for enabling investment diversification, risk management, price discovery and transactional efficiency. According to the SEC, the workshop which is titled “Financing the Solid Minerals Sector through the Capital Market and the critical role of the Commodities Exchanges” is scheduled to hold on the 27th and 28th of July, 2023 at the Securities and Exchange Commission Lagos Zonal Office 3, Idejo Street, Off Adeola Odeku Street, Victoria Island, Lagos. The Commission is organising the workshop in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Mines and Steel Development to enlighten capital market operators on the roles of the mining industry with aim of exposing players in the solid minerals extractive industry to the commodities trading ecosystem.
