The presentation followed the Group’s earlier Analyst and Investor Session on October 9, where executives outlined progress in strengthening the institution’s performance, market position, and value creation for shareholders.

The ongoing offer, which opened on October 2 and closes on November 6, 2025, involves the sale of 16 billion ordinary shares at ₦10 each. It aims to help First City Monument Bank Limited FCMB’s banking subsidiary meet the Central Bank of Nigeria’s new ₦500 billion capital requirement for international banks.
