Coronation Registrars Limited has released its 2025 performance scorecard, highlighting its continued role in supporting transparency, efficiency, and investor confidence within Nigeria’s capital market.

In 2025, Coronation Registrars processed ₦1.28 trillion in dividends, representing over 40 percent of the total dividends distributed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). This performance underscores the organisation’s scale and the trust placed in it by leading publicly listed companies.

Coronation Registrars also recorded 34.8 percent market share of the NGX by market capitalisation, while maintaining 64 percent coverage of companies listed on the NGX Premium Board, reflecting strong partnerships with some of Nigeria’s largest and most influential issuers.

Operationally, the registrar facilitated 1.99 million buy and sell transactions in 2025, while managing 2.91 million shareholder accounts across its registrars portfolio.

The organisation also continued to address the longstanding issue of unclaimed dividends. In 2025, ₦3.67 billion in legacy unclaimed dividends was successfully returned to investors, helping reconnect shareholders with previously outstanding entitlements.

To further strengthen shareholder record accuracy and service efficiency, Coronation Registrars processed over 513,000 KYC and shareholder account updates, including CHN updates and record changes.

Commenting on the milestone, the Managing Director of Coronation Registrars Limited stated:

“Our 2025 scorecard reflects the responsibility we carry as custodians of shareholder records and facilitators of dividend distribution for many of Nigeria’s leading companies. We remain committed to improving investor access, strengthening operational efficiency, and supporting the continued development of Nigeria’s capital market.”

Coronation Registrars Limited remains focused on leveraging technology, operational excellence, and strong issuer partnerships to deliver reliable registry services while supporting the evolving needs of shareholders and listed companies.
