When you buy Nigerian stocks, you become a part-owner of that company and are entitled to a share of its profits through dividends.
The NGX lists over 150 companies across key sectors of the Nigerian economy: banking and financial services, oil and gas, consumer goods, telecommunications, manufacturing, agriculture, and real estate. These range from household names like Dangote Cement, Zenith Bank, and MTN Nigeria to mid-cap industrials and fast-growing consumer brands.
