According to the statement, Gross Earnings increased by 89.9 per cent year-on-year (yoy) to N192.1 billion from N101.1bn in Q1 2023.

However, NIM came in at 8.8 per cent compared to 8.1 per cent in 2023FY, as increased yield on earning assets surpassed funding cost to 15.1 per cent from 13.3 per cent in Q1 2023 (2023FY: 13.5 per cent).

Similarly, Total Deposits increased by 17.2 per cent ytd to N4.7 trillion from N4.0 trillion in 2023FY, driven by double-digit growth across all deposit types (demand, savings and term). Net Loans and Advances increased by 21.2 per cent to N3.7 trillion from N3.1 trillion in 2023FY.

“Beginning the year on this inspiring note reaffirms our strategy of helping individuals to grow, inspiring businesses to thrive and empowering economies to prosper.
