NNPC pushes forward with IPO plans amid governance overhaul

Nigeria's state oil company is working to address governance and financial reporting issues as it prepares for a capital market listing.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd.) is moving ahead with plans for an initial public offering, implementing governance reforms and tackling financial reporting gaps that advisers have flagged ahead of a potential listing on the capital market.

A capital market listing could release significant value for the government and potentially enable private investors to gain exposure to Nigeria's oil sector.
