Emomotimi Agama

Emomotimi Agama leads Nigeria's Securities and Exchange Commission at a pivotal moment for the country's digital-asset industry. Under his watch, the SEC has moved toward formalising the sector through programmes such as its Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Programme and a licensing framework for digital-asset businesses. That shift has brought companies such as Busha and Quidax into a clearer regulatory conversation, replacing years of uncertainty with defined requirements for operating legally. Agama belongs on the Borderless 100 because regulation can either close financial borders or make them navigable. His work is helping determine how Nigeria participates in the emerging global digital-asset economy.
