Simultaneously, Dangote Cement Plc has seen its market capitalization rise to N18 trillion on the Nigerian Exchange. This growth coincides with preparations for a secondary share sale on the London Stock Exchange scheduled for November, which aims to raise approximately $1 billion. During this period, investor Femi Otedola has reportedly expressed interest in acquiring a 5% stake in the company.
