Access Holdings Cites Compliance for Dividend Non-Payment

Access Holdings announced that it would not pay dividends for the 2025 financial year, citing regulatory compliance challenges from the Central Bank of Nigeria. Chairman Mr. Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede disclosed this during the company's 4th Annual General Meeting.

He explained that the decision was part of a prudent strategy to strengthen the balance sheet and ensure long-term resilience, despite achieving a profit before tax of ₦1.01 trillion in 2025, up from ₦867.02 billion in 2024. Aig-Imoukhuede highlighted the importance of maintaining a disciplined growth approach amid a volatile economic environment and emphasized the need for macroeconomic stability to enhance investor confidence.

He commended the Nigerian government's ongoing economic reforms under President Bola Tinubu, which aim to restore macroeconomic stability and improve the business environment. Aig-Imoukhuede also called for deeper reforms to unlock the country's economic potential and support small businesses.
