Shareholders of ASO Savings & Loans Plc have thrown their weights behind ongoing N120 billion recapitalisation of the bank.
Shareholders, who spoke after the annual general meeting (AGM) of the bank, said the steady progress being made under the current board and management has reinforced confidence in the outlook of the bank.
They noted that the holding of the AGM, the first in more than 10 years, signalled the return of the bank to effective compliance and operational excellence.
President, Association for the Advancement of Rights of Nigerian Shareholders (AARNS), Dr Faruk Umar, who spoke on behalf of the shareholders, said the bank has made commendable progress under the current leadership.
“We fully support the bank’s ongoing N120 billion recapitalisation programme and the strategic plan for integration with Union Homes Savings & Loans Plc, which we believe will enhance capacity, unlock new value, and strengthen ASO’s role in Nigeria’s mortgage finance sector.
Shareholders assured that they would continue to support the strategic initiatives by the board and management.
