The company stated that it has embarked on corporate expansion to promote organic growth, boost earnings and deliver shareholder value.

Despite the inclement operating environment, the company’s revenue  increased by 92% to N9.6 billion from N5 billion in 2022 while the total assets was up by 16%  to N19 billion in the review period.

Addressing the shareholders at the Company’s Hybrid Annual  General Meeting (AGM) at the weekend ,  the Chairman, Sir Demola  Aladekomo, explained that Chams HoldCo Plc was poised to mobilize more funds for expansion in order to boost profitability.

” Looking back on 2023, Chams Group can say that despite the challenging economic climate and obstacles encountered at every turn, it persevered and introduced several cutting-edge digital solutions. Our share prices achieved its highest growth to N2.44. NGX recognized our shares as the second-best-performing stock on NGX due to their stellar performance as frontline financial technology.

“One of our major plans for 2024 is the Fundraising. The funds generated will be rightly invested in the company to generate profit for the Group, so our shareholders can start receiving dividends for their investments soon. We aim to increase the production capacity of CardCentre, which will lead to more profit for the Group. ChamsSwitch also projects a partnership with a financial institution to execute her partnership with UnionPay. Our subsidiaries have also laid down various plans for the growth and progress of the Group. It is sufficient to say that 2024 will be an outstanding year for the Chams Group”, said Aladekomo.

Corroborating him, the Group Managing Director, Mrs.Mayowa Olaniyan, noted that revenue generation potential of Chams Group,  was boosted by digital solutions of its subsidiaries, especially for the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs). “This is a clear testimony that their digital solutions are impressive, providing innovations that ease the administration of pensions in Nigeria through a seamless and secured remittance system divulged from what was obtainable from traditional banking systems in the past.

ChamsAccess continues offering other valuable services to its vast clientele, including cash management and cybersecurity solutions, which contributed more than 54% of Group revenue for the year.

” The Group is relentless in delivery international digital solutions to solve the most pressing problems for our society thereby serving continental dishes with a local candor. Whilst returning to profitability is important to us, we value providing innovative solutions to contemporary problems above every other objective.”, explained Olaniyan.
