The Nigerian Stock Exchange said, on Tuesday, it had won approval from members to become a listed company.
Consequently, the NSE has appointed a board of directors.
It would now re-register as a profit-making entity owned by shareholders called the Nigerian Exchange Group Plc.
The Group begins business with a share capital of 1.25 billion Naira ($4 million), as it transitions from being a not-for-profit entity to the current status. (Reuters)
