What happened
OPay completed its primary listing on the New York Stock Exchange following disclosure to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2026. The company subsequently secured board and shareholder approval to pursue a secondary listing on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX). This follows a meeting where Temi Popoola, representing the Nigerian Exchange Group, advocated to Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a national strategy encouraging major Nigerian technology businesses to list locally.
Why it matters
The dual listing activity could provide Nigerian investors with an additional avenue to acquire stakes in a leading fintech company. This push by the Nigerian Exchange Group aims to strengthen the domestic capital market's participation in Nigeria’s expanding digital economy.
