Nigerian Stocks paying dividends in September
Hello people, still continuing with our stock watch, today we would be taking a look at Nigerian Companies scheduled to make dividend payment in the month of September. We would also take a look at the closure of register dates for the shares. Before we begin, let’s take a look at what closure of register means for companies. For those who do not know, closure of register is the period when a company will not handle adjustments to the register or requests to transfer shares. When dividend payments are fast approaching, companies set a date for the closure of registers to indicate to investors that any intending request to transfer shares should be made before the date else it would not be processed and dividends would be paid to the original shareholder (i.e. Owner of shares before sending the request). So effectively, the request is put on hold until the dividends are transferred.
