United Bank for Africa Plc (UBA) has announced that its Board of Directors has approved the Group’s Audited Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, alongside a proposed final dividend, subject to regulatory approval.
The approval was granted at the Board meeting held on Thursday, February 19, 2026, according to a corporate disclosure released to the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) on Monday, February 23, 2026.
In the notice signed by the Group Company Secretary/Legal Counsel, Bili A. Odum, the bank confirmed that the audited financial statements and dividend recommendation remain subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The disclosure follows an earlier announcement dated January 2, 2026, which informed the NGX and the investing public of the scheduled Board meeting to consider the bank’s audited results.
UBA stated that the Nigerian Exchange and investors will be formally notified once the Central Bank of Nigeria grants approval for the 2025 audited financial statements.
The development signals the completion of the Board’s internal review process for the financial year, marking a key milestone in the bank’s annual reporting cycle. However, final publication and dividend confirmation remain contingent on regulatory clearance.
As one of Africa’s leading financial institutions with operations across multiple jurisdictions, UBA’s audited results are closely monitored by investors for insights into earnings performance, asset quality, capital adequacy and dividend sustainability.
Market participants will now await regulatory approval and the subsequent release of detailed financial performance metrics, including profit before tax, profit after tax, gross earnings, loan growth and capital ratios.
Further updates are expected upon receipt of the Central Bank’s approval.
