In a statement on Tuesday, the company said that the recognition underscored the strength of its entry into the public markets and reflected growing confidence in the company’s strategic direction, governance standards, and long-term growth potential.
The PUNCH reports that Legend Internet listed two billion of its shares on the main board of the NGX at N5.64 each in April 2025.
According to the company, the award is not only a significant corporate achievement but also a strong validation of the trust placed in Legend by its investors and partners since its listing. The recognition signals that Legend’s market trajectory is aligning with the highest benchmarks within Africa’s capital markets.
Legend’s leadership described the achievement as a collective milestone, emphasising that the company’s successful debut has been driven by disciplined execution, transparency, and a commitment to innovation.
The award further reinforces Legend’s focus on sustainable expansion and value creation for shareholders.
Speaking at the ceremony, the company’s Chief Executive Officer Aisha Abdulaziz, said, “We are truly delighted to receive this award. It reflects the hard work of our team and our unwavering commitment to excellence. More importantly, it serves as both recognition and responsibility, a mandate to sustain this momentum, continue pushing boundaries, and consistently deliver value for our stakeholders in the years ahead.”
Legend Internet Plc added that the award represents a strong foundation for the company’s next phase of growth, as Legend remains committed to improving the lives of Nigerians through innovative connectivity and digital solutions.
Analysts at Custom Street noted that with this recognition, the market has not only observed a successful listing by Legend, but also the rise of a new benchmark within the NGX telecommunications services sub-sector.
Legend Internet Plc operates at the forefront of last-mile fibre-optic broadband infrastructure, including FTTH and FTTR, alongside a growing portfolio of complementary digital services.
