Legend Internet Plc is making headlines as it prepares to list 2 billion shares on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) through a listing by introduction. Known for its robust fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) services, the company has met all regulatory requirements to be listed on the NGX Main Board. This move is more than just a financial step, it reflects Legend’s commitment to scaling its impact on digital connectivity in Nigeria. A listing ceremony is scheduled for tomorrow to officially mark this major milestone.
According to company leadership, the NGX listing signals a broader ambition: bringing more Nigerians into the digital fold and offering them a stake in a fast-evolving internet ecosystem. CEO Aisha Abdulaziz emphasized that the company’s mission goes beyond connectivity, it’s about creating value through infrastructure that supports innovation, made right here in Nigeria. Being publicly listed means Legend can now tap into more capital and public interest to grow its influence and reach.
Over the years, Legend has expanded quickly, leveraging its nationwide fiber network and a lineup of digital tools tailored to local needs. One standout is LegendMail, Nigeria’s first integrated email platform with secure storage, payment features, and a unified user identity, all built on the company’s fiber backbone. These tools aim to simplify digital life for users while keeping everything homegrown and relevant to the Nigerian experience.
Looking ahead, the listing gives Legend Internet the financial and strategic boost it needs to scale operations, develop its tech stack, and invest in local talent. Abdulaziz summed it up best: this isn’t just a win for Legend, it’s a leap forward for Nigeria’s digital economy. The company is doubling down on innovation and inclusion, showing the world that Nigeria can build, scale, and list its own tech success stories.
