Merger: NSE suspends trading on shares of CCNN

By Nkiruka Nnorom

THE Nigerian Stock Exchange, NSE, has placed the shares of Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (CCNN) on full suspension ahead of its merger with Obu Cement. The merger with Obu Cement, both subsidiaries of Bua Group, would create Nigeria’s second largest cement producer.

The suspension, according to the Exchange in a notice signed by Godstime Iwenekhai, Head, Listings Regulation Department, NSE, became imperative to prevent trading in the shares of the company beyond the Effective Date (the date the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the Court Sanction would be registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with regards to the Scheme of merger between the companies.

The move, according to the company, is part of its bid to deepen the Nigerian capital market and enhance the growth of the cement industry.

“With the consolidation and addition of the Sokoto Kalambaina II plant, this will bring BUA Cement’s total installed capacity across all its cement holdings to 11 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA),” said Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman/Founder, BUA Group.

As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
