Johannesburg Stock Exchange suspends Oando shares

The Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), on Thursday, suspended trading in the shares of Nigeria’s oil company, Oando Plc.

“The JSE has accordingly suspended trading of the Oando shares with effect from 09:00 a.m. SA time, pending clarification following the review of subsequent correspondence received on 18 October 2017 from the NSE and SEC and will provide a full statement of the Company’s position as soon as possible.”
