Image
  Former President Ernest Koroma has returned to Sierra Leonean after more than two years of temporary stay in Nigeria . He was accompanied yesterday to Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo. A statement by the Foreign Affairs Ministry added that Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, on the instruction of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also followed the ex-President to his country. Former President Goodluck Jonathan, who facilitated Koroma’s return in his capacity as special envoy, saw him off to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

Do they become entitled to dividends? What happens if the share price falls after listing? How do they eventually sell those shares? And if the refinery raises more than ₦2 trillion, what exactly is that money going to fund?
