In the first half of 2024, shareholders of the company announced an interim dividend of N0.91 per share for registered members. This amounted to N5.4 billion in dividend distribution.

According to shareholders of the company, only members who had registered before the 31st of July were paid dividends.

In the annual general report of the company for 2023, the chairman of the company, Chika Mordi, stated: “For 2024, we will relentlessly continue to pursue our set goals and are optimistic that we will deliver higher performance.”

In continuation, he assured shareholders that the company would continue to strive towards generating high returns through efficient business operations. Also, he reiterated the company’s ability to storm through whatever challenge that 2024 might come with.
