Lagos — Omatek Computers was last week listed at the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) as one of the public quoted companies whose shares would be traded openly on the floor, thus becoming the first computer company in the country to achieve the feat.
Disclosing this to journalists in Lagos Friday, the Managing Director and CEO of Omatek, Chief (Mrs.) Florence Seriki, said the company got listed at the floor after its private placement last year was highly successful.
According to Mrs. Seriki, many highly and lowly placed Nigerians home and abroad privately brought into Omatek and the performance of the company surprised every one including the NSE management.
She said the success recorded in the past years made the NSE management to list Omatek at the floor as a publicly quoted company.
Her words: " Omatek had started 21 years ago and what better gift can we ask from our dear God to mark our 21st anniversary. Today Omatek is the first computer company to be listed at the floor of the Nigerian Stock exchange.
"We are happy to achieve this and we are thankful to all our shareholders and to NSE for the confidence they repose in us. We achieved this simply because of performance in the past years and our recent transparency in the private placement. Now the shares of Omatek are being traded at the floor and we promise our old and new shareholders more high dividends."
