Oando Plc takes the first spot for the second week running by virtue of the company’s tussle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and having its Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for the 11th of June, 2019.
It is yet unknown if the AGM will hold as scheduled, in view of the court case filed against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). SEC by law, is also expected to have a representative at the AGM.
