Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin

Pan African businessman Tony Elumelu has lots to smile about this year as he could earn over a billion Naira as dividends from quoted companies for the 2017 financial year. Here is a breakdown of his estimated earnings from each firm through direct and indirect holdings.

His indirect earnings could hit ₦2 billion going by his holdings in UBA Plc, United Capital, and Afriland Properties Plc. Direct holdings in some of these firms are undisclosed since he is not a board member nor holds significant shareholdings, but could exceed over ₦200 million going by his holdings in UBA Plc alone.

Transcorp Plc in which Elumelu is a major shareholder with a direct and indirect holding of 17.9 billion shares is yet to release its 2017 financial statements.

In addition to this, he also owns a stake in the firm in his name as well as through the Tony Elumelu Foundation.

United Capital Plc

Tony Elumelu holds an indirect stake in the firm through the Tony Elumelu Foundation. His personal stake in the firm is undisclosed since he is neither on the board nor holds a significant stake.
