As audited accounts start to trickle in, companies will propose dividend payments to their shareholders as recommended by their respective boards of directors.
It is also important to track these announcements to know who is eligible to collect the dividend, when it will be approved, and when it will be paid. Dividend payment also affects share prices.
This page will be updated from time to time.
Legend

Payment date – This is when the dividend will be paid to you, either via post (dividend warrants) or direct credit to your bank accounts (e-dividend).
Closure of Register – Only shareholders who own shares listed in their register before this date will be paid dividends.

2023 Dividends from companies quoted on the Nigerian Stock Exchange
Otedola again! Deceiving foolish investors with mouth watering dividends,price manipulations and only to dump the business after milking it to it’s knees. Where is Fort Oil,Xenon? Just imagine investors wealth going down the drain in 5 year time!
Please tel me more, are you saying the dividend offer is only for price speculation ?
Just to entice people.

It’s deplorable. Meanwhile, there are people earning salaries masquerading as regulators whose impact is of no moment. Time and again, unsuspecting investors end up getting swindled.
I observe that some of these public companies change their Registrars and without the knowledge of many of these lower investor Shareholders, thereby increasing the volume of unclaimed dividends. The new Registrars will not scrutinise properly the profiles/ details of shareholders transferred to them for due dividends to be paid to them through their usual bank accounts. So dividends are in most cases paid to only the ‘lucky’ ones at random.
No company can change their registrar without informing SEC , this change will be reflected on their website and announced at the next AGM. Just Google the Registrar to your company, fill their e mandate form and you will be paid your outstanding dividend, you don’t need luck it is your money. Report or send mails to SEC if you have done all you need to do and you are still not paid, but it is wrong to assume that companies and Registrars are just out to delibrately withhold your dividend. That is not fair.
You may not be aware the level of humiliation the registrars mete to share holders, just to frustrate them out. I am a living witness to this gross tossing of registrars. I began processing e-mandate of 2 registrars since March last year, up until now I am yet to receive my backlog of dividends for 10 years. One asked for payment, I did., they turned out to now say bank has not replied since early May. The other is demanding for my cscs statement which I have given them 2ice. These 2 companies have severally asked for e-mandates, which I processed via my bank and delivered to them. Pile up of unclaimed dividend is mostly caused by Registrars. If SEC is regulating the registrars as should, dividends would be claimed by shareholders. If educated ones are frustrated this way, what about illiterate investors. I wrote to SEC complaining bitterly, they never responded. Names of these registrars are (1) Africa Prudential Registrars (2) Veritas Registrars. I have 5 companies under Prudential while Veritas has my Zenith bank stock under them.
If the bank did not reply the registrar’s simply write acompliant to the head of customer service of the bank ,and send it to their head quarters with while attaching copies of the e dividence forms filled and your contact details.
Kindly visit the registrar offices in person.
I am sure your story will be different.
Go through your stock broker.
It happened to me when Iwas trying to get my son’s backlog dividend zenith bank (vertas).
When I went through my broker, less than 2weeks my son received his dividends.
It is partentic in Nigeria.
Then what are the up to for not processing one’s dividend payment?????
What is the situation with MTN OFFER of December 2021? There has not been any feedback till now.
MTN offer of 2021 was well concluded to the extent that those who subscribed to it got the final dividend for FY 2021 as well as 2022 interim dividend. Payment of #10 final dividend for FY 2022 is April 20, 2022. Additionally, the 1:20 bonus promised those that did not sell their shares purchased via the offer will also be redeemed.
Thanks for your feedback but for me I have not gotten any evidence of purchase of shares such as share certificate and no dividend of course. Several times I took this complaint to point of purchase (First Bank) all I got was that some staff were affected. Please assist me to normalize this transaction.

Everybody who subscribed were given. Your bank is definitely not telling you something. Check your emails, you could have received an email from your assigned stockbroker or registrar

Please the best way to invest in the stock market is to get a broker, obtain your CSCS account, decide on the stock to buy and buy them they ur broker from the secondary market, find out the registrar of the company u bought, fill their e-mandate form (for ur dividend) and u are good to go. As for unclaimed dividend, just write to the respective registrar in charge of the stock u bought, and trust me, it will be deposited to the account u filled in your e-mandate form. It’s not difficult, just needed factor is patience.
NON PAYMENT OF BONUSES
The management of our banks ,despite doing exceptionally well, have never thought it necessary and mercifully too, to pay shareholders bonuses for the past 10 years or more as was the case 20years ago. It is inexplicable. Moreover , OANDO PLC, which has never paid dividends for two decades but which recently seemed to be doing well, suddenly decided to delist from the stock market , appears to not to be sympathetic to its shareholders who had waited patiently for years. Everything is wrong and unacceptable.
I’ll love to invest, becoming a shareholder in companies but news about dividend not been paid for years or stuffs like that really wage me off balance cus I no more know the truth about being a shareholder again..
Please advice
