This emerged from the 50th Annual General Meeting, AGM of the firm that was held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

A statement made available to Financial Vanguard revealed that Chairman of the Company,  Dr Anthony Okocha, said: “ The company’s recapitalization drive involves a combination of strategies including new equity injection by existing and new investors, assets conversion as well as possible merger.”

He thanked the shareholders for their continuous faith in the business over the years and their support for the recapitalisation drive.

He pointed out that despite the odds, the firm is rapidly on the path to prosperity as evidenced by the improvements in the financial statement.

“There is no doubt we are on the rise again, considering where we were before now. In the period under review, our profit after tax decreased to a loss of N2.4 billion in 2018 from a loss of N6.72 billion in 2017. It is important to note that the bulk of these year-on-year losses were technical arising from the drop in interest rates which significantly affected the returns on annuity assets that accounted for 96 percent  of the company’s business portfolio.

“By the time the 2019 results are released, you would see how your company has turned the bend,” Okocha added.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Funmi Omo, highlighted the major changes the business has undergone as part of its repositioning for growth.

How to jump-start Nigeria economy post-COVID-19 Pandemic

Nwali Tochukwu Watching with consternation the fall out of events, actions, and inactions of our Nigerian leaders on mitigating the negative impact of COVID-19 Pandemic disruptions on our social and economic lives. As a young dynamic business and entrepreneurship writer, and author cum small business owner, what came into my mind as we navigate the storms of COVID-19, was a common English phrase Adages, Proverbs, first recorded in Fuller’s Gnomologia, 1732: ‘A stitch in time saves nine’ which was translated to literally, solve the problems right now! Why procrastinating? If we, as a nation wants to break away from past mistakes, and present mistakes, we should hold the bull by the horn right now. And avoid the roads of political expediency. That is exactly what the stitch in time simply stood for. Promptly address issues posed by Coronavirus. By quickly sewing up of a small hole or tear in a piece of material, so saving the need for more stitching at a later date when the whole ha...
