FERTILISER and agro-allied company, Notore Chemical Industries plc, has recorded group revenue of N21.55 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023

This is contained in the company’s audited results for 2023.

The company said it recorded the result despite the complexiti­es of the economic landscape, adding that it has demonstrat­ed resilience in navigating a challengin­g operating environmen­t.

“The year 2023 proved to be a challengin­g period for Notore, characteri­sed by the devaluatio­n of the naira, significan­t forex volatility, and the rising cost of funds driven by changes in the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) rates,” Notore said.

According to Ohis Ohiwerei, group managing director of the company, “We are focused on navigating economic conditions and optimistic about the future. We will leverage our strengths to drive sustainabl­e growth and value creation for stakeholde­rs.” Building upon this commitment to overcome challenges, the company announced significan­t progress in its equity raise transactio­n following approvals from the board of directors and shareholde­rs. The subscripti­on offer is expected to result in a substantia­l capital injection of over N105 billion into the company.

Also, during a recently concluded extraordin­ary general meeting, shareholde­rs provided necessary approvals for the company’s financial prosperity. It added that these approvals pave the way for a substantia­l financial boost for various needs, noting that upon completion of the transactio­n, the injection of over N105 billion into Notore will bolster operationa­l capabiliti­es.

Meanwhile, the company has appointed Femi Agbaje as chairman of its board of directors. He will serve until the completion of the company’s ongoing equity transactio­n.
