Airtel Africa has regained its position as Nigeria’s most valuable listed company, 11 months after the country’s second biggest telecommunications operator lost the top spot.
Shares of the Lagos-listed unit of India’s Bharti Airtel rose the daily limit of 10% on Tuesday, lifting its market capitalisation to N18.02 trillion — above BUA Foods’ N16.9 trillion.
Airtel last held the crown on 29 July last year, when it was overtaken by its closest rival, MTN.
