Last week Nairametrics profiled a crop of young Nigerians, who due to the great works of their parents, currently have seats on the boards of some of the largest companies on the Exchange.
For them, having these seats provides them with the unique experience that can be used to perhaps one day take over the empires of their parents or guardians.
This week, we bring to you the concluding list of children of billionaires seated on the boards of some of the largest companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE). They oversee shareholdings that are worth billions of naira in value, on behalf of their parents.
