The proposed dividend marks a 115 per cent increase from the N13 per share paid the previous year, as the company’s Profit After Tax surged 95 per cent to N518.4bn.

The company’s audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025 show revenue climbed 16 per cent to N1.77tn, up from N1.53tn in 2024.

Growth was supported by sustained demand across its diversified portfolio, which includes sugar, flour, pasta, and rice.

Speaking on the performance, Chairman Abdul Rabiu said, “Our 2025 performance reflects the strength of our growth strategy and our ability to consistently scale revenue in a dynamic operating environment.

The significant increase in our proposed dividend underscores our commitment to delivering enhanced value to shareholders while continuing to invest in the future of the business.”

Total assets rose 27 per cent to N1.39tn, driven by market expansion and a focus on internal efficiencies.

Managing Director Ayodele Abioye noted, “Our focus remains on driving sustainable revenue growth through capacity expansion, market penetration, and an improved end-to-end supply chain.

Strong demand across our product categories reinforces our strategic direction, and we are well-positioned to build on this momentum.”

Despite macroeconomic complexities, BUA Foods maintained a solid financial position by optimising cost structures and supply chain management.

The proposed total dividend payout of N504bn is subject to shareholder approval at the 2026 Annual General Meeting.

The company added, “With strong fundamentals, BUA Foods remains well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory while contributing to food security and economic development in Nigeria and across West Africa.”
