Access Holdings Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading financial services groups, has announced a final dividend of N2.05 per share for the financial year ended December 31, 2024. This resolution was passed at the Company’s Third Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on May 15, 2025, in Lagos.

The dividend will be paid to shareholders whose names appeared on the register at the close of business on April 29, 2025, after applicable withholding tax deductions.

In addition to approving the Company’s audited financial statements and reports for 2024, shareholders re-elected Mr. Abubakar Jimoh and Mrs. Fatimah Bello-Ismail as Independent Non-Executive Directors, affirming their continued role in guiding the Group’s strategic direction.

The AGM also approved the remuneration framework for both the Company’s auditors and management team, as disclosed in the annual report.

A new Audit Committee was constituted, comprising three shareholder representatives—Mr. Henry Aragho, Mr. Idaere Gogo-Ogan, and Mr. Akindele Gbogboade—and two Board representatives, Mr. Abubakar Jimoh and Mrs. Ojinika Olaghere.

Furthermore, shareholders renewed a general mandate authorising the Group to enter into recurrent related-party transactions necessary for its day-to-day operations. This mandate will remain in effect until the next AGM.

The meeting underscored Access Holdings’ commitment to strong corporate governance, transparency, and delivering consistent shareholder value.
