“The fundamentals of our company have not changed. We are confident that the growth we have witnessed in the early part of the 2015 financial year will mark a return to growth in spite of the headwinds of the economic and political environment which affected performance in recent years,” he said.

Shareholders that spoke at the meeting commended the company for the dividends in spite of the tough operating environment.Speaking on behalf of others, National Coordinator, Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria, ISAN, Sir Sunny Nwosu, said:

“Dividends are due to us shareholders and we are glad that Guinness Nigeria is giving us something this year. Admittedly, it has dropped from what it has been in previous years, but we also have companies paying out five kobo dividends. So, we are happy to receive this dividend payout from Guinness Nigeria Plc.”

Explaining the decision to pay out N3.20k dividends, Mr. Savage said the company wished to re-invest its profits to ensure long term profitability. “We want to reduce the cost of borrowing and financial charges and instead use our funds to grow the company.
