Seplat Energy Plc, a leading Nigerian independent energy company listed on both the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE), has appointed Canaccord Genuity Limited and Peel Hunt LLP as Joint UK Corporate Brokers, alongside Citigroup Global Markets Limited, with immediate effect.
The appointments are expected to strengthen the company’s advisory capacity, broaden its institutional investor reach in the UK, and enhance engagement with the London capital markets at a time of heightened strategic activity in the Nigerian energy sector.
The development comes as Seplat Energy continues to reposition itself following the completion of major asset acquisitions and its transition into a more gas-focused, integrated energy company. With growing exposure to international investors and increasing regulatory and reporting demands associated with its dual listing, the company is seeking deeper capital markets expertise to support funding strategy, corporate actions, and long-term growth ambitions.
About Canaccord Genuity and Peel Hunt
Canaccord Genuity and Peel Hunt are both well-established UK investment banks with strong track records in equity capital markets, corporate advisory, and investor relations, particularly for listed energy and natural resources companies.
Seplat Energy has, in recent years, attracted significant foreign investor interest due to its expanding gas portfolio, role in Nigeria’s domestic gas-to-power value chain, and efforts to improve operational resilience amid regulatory and security challenges in the Niger Delta. By reinforcing its UK brokerage lineup, the company signals its intent to maintain strong market visibility in London while navigating a volatile global energy landscape marked by energy transition pressures, capital discipline, and shifting investor expectations.
