Seplat Energy Advocates Governance for Structured Finance Success

Seplat Energy Plc highlighted the significance of transparency, strong corporate governance, and stakeholder collaboration in structured financing at the Olaniwun Ajayi Structured Finance Roundtable in Lagos. CFO and Executive Director Eleanor Adaralegbe stated that trust is essential for successful financing arrangements, with the reputation of a company's leadership being crucial for attracting capital.

She emphasized that Seplat's commitment to transparency and partnership has fostered lasting relationships with financial institutions, regulators, and investors. Adaralegbe noted that Seplat's dual listing on the Nigerian Exchange Limited and the London Stock Exchange has imposed strict compliance obligations, enhancing the company's institutional framework.

Dr. Emomotimi Agama, the Director-General of SEC, stressed the need for collaboration among market participants to deepen Nigeria's capital markets and expand structured finance solutions to drive economic growth.
