United Capital Group posted a record profit after tax of ₦28.15 billion for the 2025 financial year, marking a 17% increase from the previous year. Revenue rose 35% year-on-year, climbing from ₦43.43 billion in 2024 to ₦58.55 billion in 2025. The performance was driven by growth across its investment banking, asset management, and stockbroking divisions. As part of its shareholder return policy, the Group declared a final dividend of ₦1.00 per share for the 2025 fiscal year. The results were officially announced on 24 April 2026 in Abuja, Nigeria. This marks the highest annual profit in the company's history. United Capital Group operates as a Pan-African investment bank and financial services provider with a presence in multiple African markets. The company attributed the strong financial performance to strategic business expansion and improved operational efficiency.
United Capital Group celebrates record profits while the average Nigerian grapples with soaring living costs. The company's 35% revenue jump and dividend payout contrast sharply with wage stagnation across the country. Millions of Nigerians earning below minimum wage see no direct benefit from such corporate gains. The gap between financial sector success and everyday economic hardship has never been more visible.
