This delay is occasioned by the fact that we are currently seeking the approval of our primary Regulator, the Central Bank of Nigeria (“CBN”) for the Half Year Audited Financial Statements, following which the said Financial Statements will then be released to the Market.”

“We are working diligently to ensure that our Company’s 2020 Half Year Results are published on or before Friday 25 September 2020.”
