Lagos, Nigeria — September 2025
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria (SEC Nigeria) has officially endorsed the Glorious Wealth Fund (GWF) national education initiative — a groundbreaking program designed to improve financial literacy and investment awareness through artificial intelligence.
Developed under SEC supervision and guided by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the initiative introduces an AI-driven learning platform that simulates real trading environments, helping Nigerians understand the dynamics of the capital market with minimal risk exposure.
Chief Strategic Advisor Prof. Chuka Obianuju Okafor stated that the goal is to “equip every citizen with the knowledge and confidence to participate in the stock and fund markets responsibly.”
“Technology must serve education. By combining AI intelligence with national financial policy, we are building a culture of informed investing — not speculation,” he said during a press briefing in Lagos.
Through a combination of AI-assisted tutorials, interactive market simulations, and certified instructor programs, the education initiative will reach universities, business schools, and community centers across the country.
According to SEC Nigeria’s FinTech division, this program forms part of the national roadmap to deepen retail investor participation and strengthen confidence in regulated investment products.
The pilot phase, launched in Lagos and Abuja, has already enrolled over 5,000 participants, including young professionals, students, and entrepreneurs.
The Glorious Wealth Fund team also confirmed that future modules will integrate multilingual content in Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa, ensuring accessibility for participants nationwide.
By merging policy, technology, and education, GWF continues to advance its mission of building a financially empowered Nigeria — one investor at a time.
