The board of Cadbury Nigeria Plc has announced the commencement of a closed period on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).

According to a statement signed by the Company Secretary, Fola Akande, the restriction in the trading of the firm’s shares at the stock exchange by a set of people began on February 28 and will end on March 21, 2019.
