According to Taiwo Oluboyede, the chief Executive officer/country director of Top 50 Brands Nigeria, “Dangote cement, a member of the group is the most capitalized company on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. Dangote is expected to deliver its 650,000 barrel per day capacity crude oil refinery with the world tallest atmospheric tower in the coming year.” MTN, despite negative narratives, has continued to grow stronger, maintaining its second placement in this annual ranking.

The brand has been the largest telecom and business service provider in Nigeria said the organisers. “The brand enjoys more local affinity with the public listing and the trading of its stocks earlier in the year. Following its listing on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), MTN has been the second most capitalized company on the exchange, Oluboyede said, adding that “It is the first telecommunication network service provider to be listed on the NSE premium board. By this also, MTN Nigeria is the Most Valuable Multinational in Nigeria for the year.” On the chart, not surprising, another telecom company, Globacom, fully owned Nigerians came third with 75.2 Brand Strength Measurement points.
