This decision was announced by the company's Secretary, Edward Imoedemhe, following a board meeting held on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The company emphasized that the suspension is not permanent and that the proposed listing will be reconsidered at an unspecified future date. The idea of listing on the LSE was initially introduced in May 2026 when Dangote Cement was valued at nearly $13 billion.

As of Monday, November 9, Dangote Cement shares closed at N1,469.90, marking a 9.6% increase from the previous trading session.",
