With the new recapitalisation and CBN oversight, not all banks will behave the same when it comes to dividends.
Banks Likely To Still Pay Good Dividends
These are strong, well-capitalised banks:
Zenith Bank Plc
Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc
United Bank for Africa Plc

Why?
Strong capital base
Consistent profit
Good dividend history
Less pressure from regulators
Banks That May Be More Cautious
These banks may delay or reduce dividends slightly:
Access Holdings Plc
First HoldCo Plc

Why?
Expansion and acquisitions
Capital restructuring
Need to retain more earnings

Nice breakdown
Top banks like Zenith, GTCO, and UBA should still pay solid dividends because they’re strong and stable.
But banks like Access and First HoldCo may take it easy on dividends for now since they’re expanding and need to keep more money.
