He stated, “we released our dividend policy in line with our mandate to shareholders after the completion of our recent extraordinary General Meeting. We also created a revised corporate governance framework, already approved by shareholders and consistent with securities regulations to realign the interests of all stakeholders.

“In closing, I would like to thank the Board and Management of NGX Group for their support since I assumed office as chairman of the Group in 2021. As I retire from the Board, I trust that my successor will continue the legacy of service and bring greater accomplishments as the sustainable exchange group championing Africa’s socio-economic growth.”

Meanwhile, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Apollos Ikpobe as acting chairman, said he recognised the enormous responsibility associated with the role.

He pledged to work with all stakeholders to ensure the stability and growth of the company during this transition, saying “on behalf of the board, I thank Ogunbanjo for his selfless service to the company over the years.”
