However, the value of the shares dropped to N11.77 billion as of June 11, indicating Danjuma lost N1.80 billion within five months and two weeks, as stock market investors’ confidence in Industrial & Medical Gases declined.

Prime Business Africa gathered that due to Industrial & Medical Gases’ inability to maintain strong investor confidence in the equity market, the company’s share price lost 13.30 percent or N5.05 to drop from N37.95 kobo to N32.90 kobo.

This resulted in Danjuma, who owns 72 percent stake in the company, and other shareholders who hold 28 percent stake, losing a total of N2.77 billion, with the former accounting for 65.15 percent of the loss.

The decline in the company’s share price also dragged down the market valuation of Industrial & Medical Gases from N20.85 billion to N18.07 billion during the period under review.
