Speaking to shareholders, the chairman of Geregu Power, Femi Otedola said: “in light of our strong financial performance in 2023, the Board proposes a dividend distribution that reflects our commitment to rewarding our shareholders.”

He explained that, “the dividend declaration is not just a distribution of profits; it is a signal of our confidence in the company’s future and our commitment to sharing our success with those who have invested in us.”
Otedola stated that 2023 was a year of solid financial performance for Geregu Power Pic, underpinned by strong commercial momentum and strategic operational efficiencies, saying that, “we experienced growth in our financial metrics, a testament to our robust business model and the effectiveness of our strategic initiatives.

“Our revenue saw an increase of 58 per cent, reaching N82.9 billion. This growth was driven by a combination of factors, including increased FX rates in the tariff components, energy rate & capacity charges and operational efficiencies.
“The operating profit for the year stood at N42.6 billion, showcasing our ability to manage costs effectively while scaling our operations. Profit before tax amounted to N24.3 billion, and we achieved a profit after tax of N16 billion.”

On the Company vision for 2024 and beyond, Otedola said, “we will continue to align our operations with global energy trends, focusing on sustainable, efficient, and renewable energy solutions.”
The chief executive officer of Geregu Power, Mr. Akin Akinfemiwa said that, “despite economic and operational disruptions in 2023, our unwavering commitment to value creation has enabled us to navigate these challenges effectively and deliver a robust performance with record financial metrics by optimising our existing assets to unlock value for our stakeholders.”
