Access Holdings Plc has disowned a financial summary circulating on social media that purported to be its 2025 audited statements, stating that the document was released by an unauthorised source ahead of official publication.
The company disclosed this in a statement on April 22, clarifying that its audited financial statements remain under regulatory review by the Central Bank of Nigeria, even though it has already received approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“The company hereby expressly disclaims the said financial highlight and urges the investing public to disregard the same as it is unauthorized,” the group stated.
Access Holdings said the full-year audited results will be published on the Nigerian Exchange within 48 hours of receiving final CBN approval.
The company had previously informed the Exchange in late February that the SEC granted an extension to file the 2025 audited results on or before March 31, subject to obtaining CBN clearance.
