Barclays plc reduced its shareholding in Barclays Africa Group to 14.9% by the end of December 2017, and on July 11, 2018 the group was renamed Absa Group Limited, ceasing to be a Barclays subsidiary. Absa Group now lists Nigeria among its own markets, naming Absa Representative Office Nigeria Limited, Absa Capital Markets Nigeria Limited and Absa Securities Nigeria Limited as the Nigerian registered subsidiaries through which it offers trade finance, investment banking and market products. Barclays plc no longer lists a Nigerian office among its Africa and Middle East locations, which cover Israel, Kenya, Qatar, South Africa, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates; the contact details above are the historical Barclays listing.
