Remember when we talked about MTN Nigeria converting to a PLC as part of the requirements to list their shares on NSE (Nigerian Stock Exchange)? Well, the Nigerian biggest telco has successfully completed its registration of 20.35 billion ordinary shares at 2 kobo per share with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Chief Executive Officer of MTN, Ferdi Moolman said this is a new way to set in motion it’s intended listing. According to the Security Exchange Commission (SEC), they received an application from MTN Nigeria where they requested for registration of its existing securities. An earlier statement by SEC however revealed that MTN Nigeria has applied for listing by introduction. The commission said the application is presently receiving attention.
