Prior to his appointment as Director-General in April 2024, Dr. Agama served as Managing Director of the Nigeria Capital Market Institute (NCMI), where he led transformative educational programs that shaped regulatory capacity in Nigeria and across Africa. He has held several pivotal roles within the SEC, including Head of Market Infrastructure & Innovation, and has contributed significantly to capital market reforms, policy innovation, and the deepening of financial markets.
