Tony Elumelu, Chairman of Heirs Holdings, has unveiled an ambitious strategy to further democratize prosperity by expanding the company’s presence on the Nigerian Exchange and potentially other African markets. The announcement, made during a media parley marking the 14th anniversary of Heirs Holdings, underscores a bold vision to broaden market access and drive inclusive growth across the continent. At the core of this strategy is the plan to list additional firms from Heirs Holdings’ diverse portfolio on the Nigerian Exchange. This move aims to enhance public participation in the company’s investments, reflecting Elumelu’s commitment to creating wealth and opportunities for a broader segment of the population. “We are dedicated to democratizing prosperity,” Elumelu stated. “Listing more of our portfolio companies on the Nigerian Exchange is a significant step in that direction. By increasing public access to these investments, we hope to empower individuals and communities, fostering economic inclusion and shared growth.” Heirs Holdings, which boasts a broad investment portfolio across various sectors including power, hospitality, financial services, and healthcare, already has seven of its companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange. These include prominent entities such as Transcorp Hotels, Transcorp Plc, United Bank for Africa, and Afriland Properties. Elumelu emphasized that the group’s expansion efforts are not limited to Nigeria. “We are also considering listings in other African markets,” he said. “Our goal is to tap into the immense potential across the continent, but we will do so when the market conditions are favorable. Our experience in Nigeria has shown us the transformative impact of being listed, and we wish to replicate this success across Africa.” The group’s commitment to enhancing its market presence aligns with its broader vision, which began in 2010. Elumelu’s leadership has steered Heirs Holdings towards strategic investments in key sectors, generating long-term value while contributing to Africa’s economic development. Owen Omogiafo, CEO of Transnational Corporation Plc (Transcorp), a flagship entity within the Heirs Holdings portfolio, highlighted the impact of these investments. “Transcorp is Nigeria’s largest listed diversified conglomerate, and we are proud to contribute significantly to the country’s power generation and hospitality sectors,” Omogiafo said. Similarly, Peter Ashade, CEO of United Capital, and Adesimbo Ukiri, CEO of Avon HMO, underscored the value created through their respective companies, benefiting shareholders and the broader community. Elumelu’s vision extends beyond financial gains. He emphasized the social impact of Heirs Holdings’ investments, which have improved lives, driven inclusion, and fostered significant economic opportunities. “Our journey is defined by execution, enterprise, and excellence,” Elumelu said. “We are committed to creating a lasting legacy and driving positive change across Africa.” The announcement marks a significant milestone for Heirs Holdings, reflecting its ongoing dedication to transforming Africa’s economic landscape and fostering inclusive growth. As the company prepares for future listings and expansions, the focus remains on harnessing Africa’s potential and ensuring that prosperity is shared widely. For further updates and detailed information, stakeholders are encouraged to follow Heirs Holdings’ official communications channels.
