Skyway Aviation IPO in Africa Tells a Story of Rebirth Within Nigeria — Here’s Why
While the rest of the world’s GDP grew 2.6 percent, African economies reached the 5 percent milestone. Now they are preparing for IPOs.
After the global financial crisis of 2008 that took apart more than 60 percent of the stock market’s capitalization, Nigeria stopped all IPO related endeavours. Since that catastrophic event, the country has been recovering at an extraordinary pace, and Lagos (Nigeria’s capital) seems to be the epicenter of a new revival.
SAHCOL (Skyway Aviation Handling Company Limited), with headquarters in the Murtala Muhammed International Airport of Lagos, will be one of the many names taking a positive stance towards this new opening. Sources confirmed that the company is planning a big IPO in August, that would inspire other large and promising businesses to do the same all over the region.
