The Chairman of United Bank for Africa and billionaire investor Tony Elumelu increased his shareholdings in UBA by 63% according to information contained in its June 2015 half year audited reports. Mr Elumelu through its Hiers Holdings vehicle owned about 116, 067, 153 ordinary shares at the end of December 2014. However, its 2015 H1 report shows the shareholdings is now 189,851,584 ordinary shares representing a 63% pop.

His current holdings put him now at 5.2% of the total outstanding shares of the company (36.2billion shares) making him the largest single significant shareholder. In fact, if you add his indirect ownership of 1.4billion ordinary shares, the banking mogul now owns about 2,072,876,000  ordinary shares or 6.4% of the bank. Stanbic Nominees and UBA Staff Shares Investment Trust scheme come the closest with about 5% each.

Recall UBA had a rights issue earlier in the year where it offered 1 for every 10 shares adding about 3.29billion shares to its shareholdings. We believe this rights issue was the opportunity Mr Elumelu needed to increase his shareholdings in the bank. The rights issue which it said was fully subscribed is believed to have been under subscribed by most retail investors leaving more high net worth shareholders with the chance to increase their stake and dilute retail investors.

    Lord Acton,the British politician said “Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely” our absolute dictators did what they do,because they have absolute power,if they did not corrupts our morals or our mind,if they did not do it,they steal our money and stores it in foreign banks,our politicans are not better than our military dictators.The national Assembly should enact law to forces competition,anti-monopoly,equal rights/opportunities in Nigerians economic butter,bread and milk within this year.
    IS THERE, A NOT OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST,WHERE A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL CONTROLS/OWES A 63 % OF ONE OF NIGERIAN BIGGEST BANK ?tony elumelu was the or not the chief executive of Nigerian standard bank,and engineered the merging of standard bank and united bank of Nigeria,if I am not correct he later became the C.E O of the merged bank, and he owes 63 % of the shares in the combined bank now
    WHY, WHY did the central bank of Nigeria allows the share structure happens,and the Nigerian stock exchange regulating authority allows this percentage happens and still existsWHERE DID HE HAVE THE MONEY TO BUYS ALL THESE SHARE ? IS IT FROM U.B .A VAULTS ?.THE E.F.F.C HAVE A QUESTION TO ANSWER TOO ?
    THERE SHOULD BE A LAW IN NIGERIA that no single person.instutional investors should not owes more than 10 % in quantity of shares for all financial corporate unit
