Digital transformation drives Africa Prudential’s N7.19bn 2025 growth – MD

Catherine Nwosu, the managing director of Africa Prudential Plc, says the company’s N7.19 billion revenue growth, representing a 38.35 percent increase recorded in 2025 from N5.19 billion in 2024, was driven largely by digital transformation.

Nwosu made this known during the 13th Annual General Meeting (AGM) held virtually, disclosing that the company’s Profit After Tax (PAT) rose to N2.72 billion, from N1.81 billion posted the previous year.

Similarly, shareholders’ funds increased to N12.73 billion, up from N10.84 billion in 2024, reflecting improved financial strength and value creation for investors.

The firm also recorded growth in total assets, which rose by 20.27 percent to N41.91 billion, compared to N34.85 billion in the corresponding period of 2024.

Nwosu noted that the company introduced a dedicated Know-Your-Customer service line to address identity management challenges and strengthen compliance processes.

She said this would further position Africa Prudential as a digital infrastructure enabler within Nigeria’s financial services ecosystem.

She further explained that the company’s proprietary platforms, Greenpole, Sabivest, and APEMs had continued to gain traction, deepening revenue streams, improving operational transparency, and enhancing overall client experience.

The managing director further noted that client confidence remained strong as the company recorded a 98 percent dividend payout, reflecting its continued commitment to delivering value to shareholders’ success rate in 2025.

Christabel Onyejekwe, chairman, Africa Prudential, said the company delivered a solid performance in the 2025 financial year, driven by disciplined execution, strong corporate governance, and a commitment to long-term value creation.

Onyejekwe noted that in spite of macroeconomic pressures, including inflation, exchange rate volatility, and rising operating costs, the company remained focused on strengthening its operational efficiency and sustaining returns to shareholders.

According to her, Africa Prudential’s ability to adapt to evolving market conditions reflectes its strong institutional foundation built on innovation, service excellence, and stakeholder trust.
