Abiodun Keripe, Managing Director of Afrininvest Research and Consulting Limited, stated that the transaction was divided into two tranches with terms of seven and ten years.
Keripe added:
“Each tranche priced at the ‘higher range of the initial price guidance, of 12.25 percent to 12.75 percent and 13.00 percent to 13.50 percent for each tranche respectively.”
The bond was oversubscribed with N10 billion demand for the seven-year tranche and N176 billion for the 10-year offering.
Dangote seeks smart Nigerians to work for him, free accommodation
In another development, Legit.ng has revealed that the Dangote refinery is nearly complete, which might mean the end of Nigeria's reliance on imported fuel.
As the refinery prepares to begin operations, a new job recruitment page for Nigerians has been launched.
The job also includes free accommodation for 20,000 employees, and images of the work and housing have surfaced online.
