The Nigerian Exchange Limited NGX has expanded its daily trading hours, effective Monday, April 27, 2026. The new schedule runs from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., extending the previous 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. window. This change, which adds over three hours to the trading day, was confirmed by NGX on its X handle, stating it offers more flexibility and responsiveness. The Securities and Exchange Commission SEC approved the extension, which NGX announced earlier in April. The initiative aims to increase market liquidity, improve price discovery, and offer investors and participants more flexibility to react to market developments and opportunities throughout the day.
