Every year, billions of naira in dividends go unclaimed by shareholders in Nigeria. According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), there is currently an estimated ₦190 billion in unclaimed dividends waiting for rightful owners. This means you or a family member might have outstanding funds you are unaware of!
What Are Unclaimed Dividends?
Unclaimed dividends are profits that companies distribute to shareholders but remain uncollected due to various reasons, such as outdated bank details, unlinked accounts, or loss of records. Over the years, these dividends accumulate, leaving investors unaware of their financial assets.
