## NASD OTC Market Data (unquoted Nigerian securities)

NGXpulse also covers the **NASD OTC Securities Exchange** — Nigeria's over-the-counter
market for unquoted public companies. This is one of the only structured, regularly
updated public sources of NASD OTC price data.

**Directory:** https://ngxpulse.ng/nasd — full price list of all NASD OTC securities
(~45 companies) with price, daily change, shares outstanding, market capitalisation,
last-traded date and a 7-day price trend. The full table is server-rendered in the
page HTML, so the data is readable without JavaScript.

**Per-security pages:** https://ngxpulse.ng/nasd/{SYMBOL} (e.g. /nasd/CSCSPLC,
/nasd/MRS, /nasd/AFRILAND) — live price, daily change and market data for each
security, with the current price embedded in the page title and meta description.

Notes for accurate citation:
- NASD OTC is far less liquid than the main NGX board. A security's price can stay
  unchanged for days simply because nothing traded; use the last-traded date shown
  beside each price to judge freshness.
- Daily price history is held from March 2026 onward.
- Prices refresh every 30 minutes during NASD market hours (10:00-14:00 WAT, Mon-Fri).
