MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has announced an interim dividend of ₦5 per 2 kobo ordinary share for the nine-month financial period ended 30 September 2025, reflecting the company’s continued strong financial performance and commitment to rewarding shareholders.

According to a corporate disclosure signed by Uto Ukpanah, the Company Secretary, on Thursday, the interim dividend was approved by the Board of Directors and will be paid to shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members as at the close of business on 20 November 2025, subject to applicable withholding-tax deductions.

“An Interim Dividend of ₦5 per 2 kobo ordinary share has been approved by the Board of Directors of MTN Nigeria Communications Plc, subject to appropriate deduction of withholding tax. It will be paid to shareholders whose names appear in the Register of Members as at the close of business on 20 November 2025,” the notice stated.

The telecom giant disclosed that the Register of Members will be closed from 21 November 2025 to enable proper processing of the dividend payment. The company further announced that dividends will be paid electronically on 28 November 2025 to shareholders who have completed the e-dividend registration and mandated the registrar to credit their bank accounts directly.

MTN Nigeria encouraged shareholders who have yet to complete the e-dividend registration to do so promptly to facilitate smooth payments. It also urged investors with unclaimed dividends to check their status and contact the company’s registrar, Coronation Registrars Limited, for resolution.

This dividend announcement follows MTN Nigeria’s recently released financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, in which the company posted a 57% year-on-year increase in revenue to ₦3.73 trillion and profit after tax of ₦750.2 billion, underscoring the company’s sustained profitability and strong shareholder returns.
