  • Finance cost, stood at N16.5 billion, a significant drop of 34% when compared to N25.2 billion of the same period last year.
  • The reduction is due to the settlement of overdraft facilities and replacement of high interest yielding loans with more favorable loans.
  • The Group has announced its intent to carve out its fertilizer business from Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc and registered same as an independent company to hold its Agro-allied businesses. This is expected to position this business segment for further growth and ensure optimal financial structures for the related businesses.
