See the Registrars handling May 2026 dividend payments

Seplat Energy Plc, Okomu Oil Palm Plc, Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, BUA Cement Plc, MTN Nigeria Communications Plc and Zenith Bank Plc are among NGX-listed companies paying dividends in May 2026, with different registrars appointed to manage the payment process.

This is according to data compiled by Nairametrics Research from corporate disclosures filed by the companies with the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) and Nairametrics Dividend Watchlist, including dividend notices, AGM notices and registrar information.

The companies cut across oil and gas, agriculture, banking, industrial goods, insurance, consumer goods, real estate and investment services, reflecting the broad spread of dividend-paying firms on the Nigerian Exchange during the month.

The payment dates listed include both completed and upcoming May 2026 dividend distributions.

For investors, the registrar is important because it is the first point of contact when dividends are not received after the payment date. Typically, dividend processing may take up to two weeks after the payment date.

Shareholders who do not receive payment after this period should contact their registrar for resolution. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) e-Dividend Mandate Management System (e-DMMS) allows shareholders to electronically register bank details for dividend payment.

Shareholders who do not get their dividends are expected to contact the relevant registrar to confirm their bank mandate, e-dividend status, shareholding details or any issue affecting payment.
