The Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group) has once again demonstrated its strong performance and unwavering commitment to investor confidence by declaring an interim dividend of ₦1.00 per ordinary share of 50 kobo each. The declaration follows the approval of the Group’s unaudited financial statements for the third quarter ended 30 September 2025, at the Board of Directors meeting held on Wednesday, 29 October 2025.
According to the corporate notice, shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members as at the close of business on Friday, 7 November 2025, will be eligible to receive the dividend. The electronic payment of the dividend is scheduled to be made to all qualified shareholders on Tuesday, 18 November 2025.
The move reinforces NGX Group’s consistent record of rewarding shareholders and sustaining investor confidence in Nigeria’s capital market despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Industry observers say this consistency underscores the Group’s robust financial management, strategic foresight, and commitment to transparency.
Speaking on the development, Alhaji (Dr.) Umaru Kwairanga, Chairman of the Nigerian Exchange Group, described the dividend declaration as a testament to the company’s financial strength, operational discipline, and the Board’s confidence in its long-term growth trajectory.
> “The declaration of this interim dividend reaffirms the Board’s confidence in NGX Group’s solid fundamentals and growth outlook. We have maintained a consistent dividend track record that reflects our unwavering commitment to shareholder value. This payment recognises our investors’ trust, and we remain focused on reciprocating that trust through disciplined execution and sustainable growth,” Kwairanga stated.
Also commenting, Mr. Temi Popoola, the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of NGX Group, emphasized that the dividend reflects the Group’s financial prudence and its deliberate approach to creating measurable value for investors.
“Our commitment to shareholders is at the heart of every strategic decision we make. This dividend reflects the Group’s strong financial discipline, consistent profitability, and prudent capital allocation. As we advance our growth agenda, we will continue to unlock opportunities across our ecosystem, creating measurable value for investors and reinforcing NGX Group’s position as a trusted driver of capital market prosperity in Africa,” Popoola said.
Over the past few years, NGX Group has solidified its role as the backbone of Nigeria’s capital market ecosystem—facilitating capital formation, deepening market liquidity, and promoting good governance and investor protection. The Group’s leadership team has continued to focus on innovation, operational efficiency, and sustainable business practices that enhance its competitive advantage.
Financial analysts have praised the dividend announcement as a positive signal to both local and international investors, citing it as a sign of resilience in Nigeria’s capital markets amid fluctuating interest rates, inflationary pressures, and a weak naira.
“The NGX Group’s ability to sustain dividend payments, even in a volatile macroeconomic climate, shows sound corporate governance and robust earnings capacity. It is a reassuring indicator for investors seeking stability in the Nigerian market,” said Celestine Ukpong, a Lagos-based economist and investment analyst.
As Nigeria seeks to strengthen investor confidence and deepen financial inclusion, NGX Group’s proactive governance and consistent shareholder returns continue to position it as a key player driving capital market growth and economic resilience across Africa.
