Chairman/Chief Executive Officer of the BUA Group Abdulsamad Rabiu is set to pocket over ₦800 million as dividends from Cement Company of Northern Nigeria (CCNN).
CCNN (also known as Sokoto cement) is proposing a final dividend of ₦1.25 per share for the year ended December 2017, its highest in the last 5 years. The fantastic results are largely due to a 46% increase in cement prices.
Rabiu has an indirect holding of 691,359,467 shares through Damnaz Cement company limited and BUA International Limited. This equates to a 50.72% stake in the firm. He will thus earn about ₦864 million as dividends.
