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 ...

Transcorp PLC FY 2025 Result: Record Profits, Power Sector Risks, and What Investors Should Watch

Transnational Corporation Plc, one of Africa’s leading listed conglomerates with strategic investments in power, hospitality, and energy, recently announced its audited Full Year 2025 results, delivering record financial performance across all business lines and crossing the ₦1 trillion total asset milestone for the first time in the Group’s history. The conglomerate which is driven by its mission to improve lives and transform Africa is listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NGX: TRANSCORP), and currently has a market valuation of around ₦497 billion (Share price ~₦49). Interestingly, Transcorp stock did not fully participate in the rally that swept across the NGX in the first two months of 2026, neither has it been favoured like other energy stocks by the ongoing US-ISRAEL-IRAN war.

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.
