He stated that NNPCL is currently engaging with potential investors through an exercise called the “NNPC Ltd. IPO Beauty Parade,” which aligns with capital market regulations ahead of its Initial Public Offer (IPO).

“According to the CFIO, the aim of the IPO Beauty Parade is to access potential partners and determine in what ways they could be of support to the company,” the statement explained.

The statement further highlighted that NNPCL is seeking partnerships in three key areas: Investor Relations, IPO Readiness Advisors, and Investment Banking Partners. Companies with the most competitive offers will be selected for each category.

An IPO is a public offering in which a company’s shares are sold to institutional investors. Under the PIA, NNPCL is required to list its shares on the capital market in compliance with the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 1990.
