JUST IN: SEC Blocks Merger Of Nascon Allied, Dangote Sugar, Dangote Rice

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has blocked the proposed merger between Nascon Allied Plc, Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc and Dangote Rice Ltd.

The development is coming barely nine months after the three companies agreed on a merger, a move which was believed to trigger fears among competitors like BUA Foods Plc.
