The company has interests across the energy value chain — upstream exploration and production (E&P), midstream gas processing and distribution, and downstream energy services. Oando is one of the larger indigenous energy companies on the NGX by asset base.
Oando has a complex corporate history that investors must understand before trading the stock. The company was previously dual-listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) but voluntarily delisted from the JSE in 2018.

Before investing, review Oando's published annual reports, NGX disclosure filings, and any SEC Nigeria notices to assess the current governance structure and regulatory standing. This article does not assess Oando's current regulatory status — verify directly with the NGX and SEC Nigeria.
