It’s unsure how this takeover will affect the value of Champion Brew share in the long term, but in the short term, it will drive up the value, as the selling price to Raysun is higher than the current value, which is N2.45kobo, and 6.12 percent difference.

Flour Mills of Nigeria

Flour Mills of Nigeria and Honeywell Group Limited (HGL) have reached an agreement for the former to acquire 71.69 percent stake held in Honeywell Flour Mills Plc (HFMP) by the latter.
