The director-general of Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC), Ms. Arunma Oteh has commended ONE African Campaign on its efforts at fighting extreme poverty especially in Africa
Oteh gave the commendation when she received the ONE Africa director, Dr. Sipho Moyo and her “Do Agric” campaign group in the Commission’s headquarters, Abuja.
The ONE Campaign is an international, nonpartisan, non-profit, advocacy and campaigning organization that fights extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa, by raising public awareness and pressuring political leaders to support effective policies and programmes that are saving lives and improving futures.
It is backed by a movement of more than 3 million members around the world.
She said, “We are happy with what you are doing especially as it is in line with our message of financial security through saving and investing across various regions, geo-political zones, states and cities of the federation”.
Oteh said the Nigeria Commodity Exchange (NCE), which deals basically on agricultural products, is currently undergoing some processes for privatization to enable farmers get as much returns on their products even as about four institutions have shown interest through the Bureau for Public Enterprise (BPE)
