Nigeria’s stock exchange NSE is working “very closely” with South African cell operator MTN on a listing of its shares this year, the head of the bourse said on Thursday.

“The pressure on MTN has never been higher to list,” NSE Chief Executive Oscar Onyema told a business conference. “There’s a project team working with them.”

He also said local airline Med-View would list its shares on January 30.
