The Board of Directors of Zenith Bank Plc at its meeting of Friday, July 23, 2021, considered and approved the 2021 Half Year Audited Results of the Group and the payment of an interim dividend, subject to the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
In a filing with regulatory authorities, the bank referred to an earlier announcement dated July 2, 2021, through which it notified the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX or the Exchange) and the investing public of the Board meeting of Zenith Bank Plc (the Bank).
“The Nigerian Exchange Limited and the investing public would be notified upon receipt of the approval of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) of the 2021 Half Year Audited Accounts and Financial Statements,” the notice read in part.
Meanwhile, the bank was recently named the Best Commercial Bank in Nigeria in the World Finance Banking Awards 2021.
