MTN Nigeria considers Lagos share listing next week

May 9, 2019558 views0 comments

MTN Nigeria Plc may list shares in Lagos next week, according to two people familiar with the matter, almost three years after agreeing to the move as part of a deal with local regulators.
Bloomberg reports that Africa’s biggest mobile-phone company could go ahead with the placing on May 16, said the people, who asked not to be named as the matter is private. The move could be delayed as some steps required by the Nigerian Stock Exchange still have to be completed, they said.

MTN remains locked in a legal battle with Nigeria’s Attorney General over a $2 billion tax claim, the latest in a series of disputes in the country. The Lagos-based unit is the largest of MTN’s 20-market portfolio, accounting for almost a quarter of its 233 million su
