Zhou Yahui Advances OPay's Listing on Nigerian Exchange
Zhou Yahui, a Chinese billionaire and technology entrepreneur, is progressing OPay's plans for a secondary listing on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX). This move comes eight years after the establishment of OPay, one of Nigeria's largest fintech companies.
OPay has secured board and shareholder approval to pursue this listing following its proposed initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The Form F-1 registration statement was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 9, 2026.
The Nigerian listing will depend on market conditions and regulatory requirements. Zhou Yahui, who controls approximately 21.3% of OPay through investment vehicles, is also the executive chairman of Opera Limited.
OPay currently employs over 7,000 staff across various locations.
