“The results we are considering today are very commendable. We have hardly ever seen a company that went from a loss position to a profit position by over 1000 per cent and this is beyond impressive. This has gone a long way to increase shareholder’s faith in the company and has proven to us that Transcorp Plc is doing everything to make us happy. It is even more exciting to note that shareholders will be rewarded with a total dividend payment of N813 million translating to 2 kobo per share. We are very pleased with this turnaround, and we trust that the company will do all it can to uphold this.” he said.
