BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—Seplat Energy Plc has reinforced its position as Nigeria’s leading indigenous energy company, recording strong investor confidence and multiple high-profile recognitions across regulatory, market, and industry platforms.
The company made history on April 14 as the first firm on the Nigerian Exchange to surpass the ₦10,000-per-share mark, with its stock climbing to about ₦10,450—an indication of robust institutional demand and positive sentiment around its expanding asset base and earnings outlook.
Further strengthening its profile, Seplat secured the Platinum Award at the ICAN–NGX Regulation Limited Corporate Reporting Awards on April 21, ranking first among listed companies in financial reporting quality, corporate governance, and sustainability disclosures.
In addition, Seplat entered the Top 10 Most Valuable Brands in Nigeria for the first time, ranking ninth in the 2026 Brand Finance Nigeria 25 Report, with brand value nearly doubling to ₦194.5 billion—the fastest growth among ranked companies.
The company also earned the Energy Company CSR Excellence Award at the Energy Times Awards 2026 and was named Outstanding Energy Company of the Year 2025 at the Industry Newspaper Awards, reflecting its strong commitment to sustainability and community investment.
Chief Executive Officer Roger Brown attributed the company’s performance to its expansion into offshore operations and sustained onshore output, which have boosted cash flow and reduced borrowing costs.
Seplat said it remains on track to deliver $1 billion in cumulative returns to shareholders by 2030, as it balances growth, shareholder value, and Nigeria’s energy transition goals
