Its Profit After Tax, however, jumped 140.13 per cent to N86.29 billion, compared to N35.93 billion recorded the previous year while Total Assets rose by 60.04 per cent to N3.59 trillion, and Total Deposits expanded by 35.65 per cent to N2.52 trillion.

At the bank’s 2024 annual general meeting (AGM) held virtually in Lagos on Thursday, shareholders unanimously commended the board and management, expressing renewed confidence in the bank’s future trajectory. The meeting marked another milestone for Wema Bank, and pioneer of Africa’s first fully digital bank, ALAT, as it disclosed unprecedented growth across key performance indicators.

The Bank also reported a 49.94 per cent increase in Loans to Customers, closing the year at N1.2 trillion, while earnings per share stood at 483.2 kobo. Wema’s Non-Performing Loan (NPL) ratio declined to 3.86 per cent, signalling improved credit quality and risk management.

Shareholders, including Matthew Akinlade, described the financial performance as very outstanding, while Dr. Olatunde Okelana hailed it as historical. Bisi Bakare, national coordinator of the Pragmatic Shareholders Association of Nigeria, applauded the bank’s gender inclusion—highlighting the 38 per cent female representation on the Board—and praised its robust succession planning and full board attendance rate.
