Nigerian Banks Nigerian stock exchange

+

Nigeria's Tier one Banks (FUGAZ) have released their 2026 Quarter 1 results, and some of them have come up with a strong start. Savvy investors are paying close attention to know how best to position ahead. Quarterly results for 2026 are particularly important, considering the stance of the Central Bank of Nigeria, which recently directed banks to treat all insider credits as non-performing loans (NPL) or bad loans and make 100 per cent provision for the self-declared sum within an 18-month window beginning from the end of April 2026.

List of Dividends Declared in 2026 by Nigerian Companies (NGX Update)

NIGERIA: Nigerian listed companies have begun releasing their audited 2025 results—and with them, dividend announcements are starting to roll in. For many investors, this is the moment that truly matters. Most of the results are looking much better than the previous year, especially for the real sector, recovering from the losses many of them recorded as a result of macro economic factors. Following the results are dividends which some of them that were hard hit by the sharp floating of the currency and deregulation of fuel in 2023 had not paid since then. Investors in turn are happy and are smiling to the bank with such cash returns to them.

How to Claim Your Unclaimed Dividend in Nigeria

Have You Ever Bought Shares In Nigerian Companies in the past? Public offer (Primary) or Secondary Market? Then this is for you. Several Nigerians participate in Public offers of Nigerian publicly listed companies without going further to register with stockbrokers. For instance, the last MTN public offer in 2022 had over 126,000 investors, according to MTN and Premium Times , but I would be surprised if up to half of such investors have done anything further after that investment. Similarly, GTCO recently did a public offer with not less than 130,000 domestic investors participating in it as reported by Guardian News . If you have ever participated in buying shares of Nigerian companies, chances are that you might have unpaid dividends waiting for you to claim (Free bucks, yeah!). Whether it was through an Initial Public offer, Public offer or bought from the Secondary market, if the company had ever declared dividends after your purchase then you are likely eligible to be ...

CBN’s Proposed Reforms for Financial Holding Companies: What It Means for Investors

If you are invested in Nigerian financial holding companies, this is one development you should not gloss over. It is not just another regulatory update, it is a structural shift. The Central Bank of Nigeria on June 11 released two exposure drafts: the Revised Guidelines for Financial Holding Companies, and the Guidelines on Ring-Fencing of Closely Linked Entities, which analysts describe as the most significant overhaul of banking group structures in more than a decade. The documents, dated June 10, 2026, were signed by Rita I. Sike, Director of Financial Policy and Regulation, and are open for public comments until July 9, 2026.

Lafarge Africa FY2025 Results: Record Revenue, 400% Dividend Surge, and Bold Expansion Plans

Lafarge Africa PLC released its FY2025 Audited Financials on the 26th of February, 2026, and the numbers were quite impressive. From a struggling company a few years ago with its loss-making South African misadventure to a company that has become a toast to investors, Lafarge has seen it all. Between December 17, 2018 and January 23, 2019 the company did a Rights issue of 7.4 billion ordinary shares at ₦12 per share on the basis of 6 new shares for every 7 existing shares held. Sometime in 2019 the share price even dipped further to ₦9 - ₦10 range. That same company, Lafarge Africa PLC (NGX ticker symbol: WAPCO) now has its share price trading at circa ₦215 as at the date of publishing this article, placing its valuation on the NGX at over ₦3.4 trillion.
