The board of directors of United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc would this week meet to deliberate on the company’s accounts and financial statements for the half year ended June 30, 2017.

A statement signed by the Secretary of the board, Mr. Bili Odum revealed that the board would also consider interim dividend for the period at the meeting.

The meeting is slated for this Thursday in Lagos.

Odum also stated that when the board considers the results, it would then be sent to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for approval before making it available to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) for its shareholder and the investing public to peruse.

“Please note that we are by regulations, required to forward the audited accounts and financial statements to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for approval, prior to the release of the results on the floor of the NSE.

“Accordingly, we shall notify the exchange of the decision of the board of directors after the meeting and submit the accounts to the NSE upon approval of the CBN,” the Group Secretary said.
