Guaranty Trust Bank Plc is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its listing on the London Stock Exchange.
In a statement on Sunday, the lender said it became the first Nigerian bank to be listed on the LSE a decade ago, and the first to dual list on an international exchange as well as the first Nigerian company to raise international capital using listed global depositary receipts.
To mark the feat, the Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer, GTBank, Mr. Segun Agbaje, led the market open ceremony at the LSE on Friday, accompanied by senior representatives of the bank and other institutional partners.
The LSE is a diversified international exchange that offers international business, and investors, unrivalled access to Europe’s capital markets.
Since its listing on the LSE, GTBank said it had embarked on a decade of growth in profitability, products and service delivery.
Agbaje was quoted to have said, “To be listed on the London Stock Exchange, one of the most illustrious exchanges in the world, was a pioneering feat which remains fresh in our minds.
“We are deeply grateful to all our investors and partners for the integral role they played and their confidence in our ability to pull off that giant leap. Ten years on, we remain committed to maximising shareholders’ value and delivering superior and sustainable return, guided by our founding values of hard work, discipline and integrity.”
