FCMB assures stakeholders of better performance …Shareholders approve N1.98bn dividend

In enhancing performance that would add significant value to stakeholders, FCMB Group Plc, has laid emphasis on strong capital, cost efficiencies, capital optimisation and accelerated growth in retail business.
The Group made this known at its third annual general meeting held over the weekend in Lagos, saying, its subsidiaries were well positioned to deliver cutting edge solutions that would provide the best customer experience in their respective target markets.
Also, shareholders of the Group unanimously approved the payment of a cash dividend of N1.98 billion, translating to 10 kobo per ordinary share, for the year ended December 31, 2015.
Speaking, the Chairman of FCMB Group, Dr. Jonathan Long, said, “Although 2015 posed many challenges for the Group, it was again possible for us to continue the development of our core banking franchise and to do so profitably.”
While, the Managing Director of FCMB Group Plc, Mr. Peter Obaseki, noted that the Group was focused on sustaining the momentum of its leading retail presence, saying the outlook for 2016 in terms of portfolio strategy is positive.
“As we seek to build more businesses in the retail space, we hope to fully launch a micro-finance business as a full subsidiary of the Group and seek opportunities to improve controlling participation in the pension fund industry; we expect our non-pension asset management and private trusteeship business to grow more steadily. A combination of these initiatives will reduce the pressure on the bank’s balance sheet and steer activities to less capital intensive businesses.”
Also speaking, the Group Managing Director/Chief Executive of First City Monument Bank Limited, Mr. Ladi Balogun, pointed out that the bank has moved swiftly and decisively to address the challenges that affected its financial results last year.
According to him, the lender’s performance this year is expected to be driven by improvements in operating efficiency and its retail banking drive, particularly in alternate channels, ATMs, POS and agent banking.
On behalf of shareholders, the coordinator of Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria (ISAN), Mr. Sunny Nwosu, commended FCMB for its resilience, hoping that FCMB will perform better going forward.

  • Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  • If you desire to take a good deal from this post then you have to apply such methods to your won webpage.|

  • I frequently read your blog admin try to discover it quite fascinating. Thought it was about time i show you , Sustain the truly fantastic work

  • Hello. Great job. I did not anticipate this. This is a splendid story. Thanks!

  • If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

  • This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
