The company has opted for a “listing by introduction”, meaning that the shares of existing MTN Nigeria shareholders will be listed without an additional public sale of shares.“We appreciate the continued support afforded to us by the government, regulators and people of this great nation,” said MTN Nigeria CEO Ferdi Moolman.
