Shareholders have expressed confidence in Access Holdings Plc’s long-term value creation strategy as Nigeria’s largest financial services group continues implementation of a deliberate plan to consolidate its pan-African and global investments into greater sustainable returns to investors.
Speaking on the outcome of the group’s annual general meeting, shareholders said they were confident that Access Holdings has been well positioned for sustainable growth and high value creation in the years ahead.
They said the performance of the group in the past 15 months highlighted the fundamental strength of Access Holdings, which provides a strong reassurance on the current strategic shift from investments to value creation and shareholders’ return.
With nearly one million shareholders, Access Holdings has one of the largest shareholder bases across Africa. More than three-quarters of the shareholders are retail minority shareholders, making them significant stakeholders in the group. Domestic minority retail shareholders typically account for nearly half of transactions at the Nigerian stock market.
Shareholders said they believed Access Holdings could translate its strong fundamentals into exciting returns while simultaneously building on the group’s vision of being Africa’s gateway to the global financial system.
