During the Group’s Investor Call held yesterday in Lagos, Mr. Peter Ashade, Group Chief Executive Officer of United Capital Plc, commented on this performance saying:
_“We are pleased to report that we ended the first half of the year on a strong and positive note. Once again, we have continued our track record of excellence and strong financial performance, which reflects the strength of our diversified business model. Last year, we made history by declaring our first-ever interim dividend, alongside a 2-for-1 bonus issue, which was met with great enthusiasm by our shareholders. This year, we continue to honour our commitment by declaring another interim dividend of ₦5.4 billion, reinforcing our dedication to delivering sustainable returns and enhancing shareholder value.”
Moving forward, United Capital is committed to expanding its retail footprint and strengthening its presence across Africa. Following its recent entry into Francophone West Africa, the Group continues to execute its Pan-African strategy with precision. With a solid foundation and clear vision, United Capital is poised to close the year strongly, delivering sustained value to shareholders, clients, and communities across the continent.
