Zenith Bank Plc has obtained approval from the Nigerian Exchange Limited to delay the submission of its audited half-year financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2026.
The lender disclosed the development in a notice to the investing public dated 18 August 2026, signed by its Company Secretary, Michael Osilama Otu.
Zenith Bank was initially expected to file the audited results by 29 August. However, following its application, the NGX granted the bank an additional six weeks to complete the process.
The new deadline means the bank could publish its H1 2026 audited financial statements on or before 9 October 2026.
Zenith Bank explained that its Board of Directors had approved the financial statements on 29 July. The results, however, are still awaiting final clearance from the bank’s primary regulator before they can be released to the market.
The lender said the regulatory approval process was responsible for the delay and expressed confidence that the audited accounts would be published before the extended deadline.
The extension comes amid a series of delayed half-year filings by major financial institutions as banks work through regulatory and audit requirements following the completion of their June 2026 accounts.
Access Holdings Plc similarly secured an extension from the NGX for its H1 2026 audited results, with its new filing deadline set for 30 September 2026, subject to the required regulatory approval.
