The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has won regulatory approval paving way for a public listing of its shares.
The exchange, the second biggest in sub-Saharan Africa and one of the main entry points to invest on the continent, has around 200 listed companies.
The shift makes the NSE the 57th exchange in the world to embrace such a transformation since Sweden’s Stockholm Stock Exchange piloted the move in 1993.
