The facts

  1. The official offer page lists a price of ₦525 per share and an opening date of 14 September 2026. [1]

  2. The issuing houses must submit the basis of allotment to Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission. Results are to be announced after approval, before shares are credited and listed on the Nigerian Exchange. [1][2]

  3. AFP, carried by Africanews on 28 October, corroborated the offer’s closure and reported an initial fundraising target of US$1.6 billion. That target is not a verified final amount raised. [3]

Still unconfirmed

  • Final proceeds, approved allotments and the exchange listing date.
  • The issuer gives 27 October as the closing date; AFP’s 28 October report describes a Wednesday closure. The checked sources do not reconcile that date difference.

Two issuer pages and independent AFP reporting were opened. The article uses the issuer’s repeated 27 October date, discloses the conflicting day in AFP’s report, and makes no claim that shares are already trading.
