The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) has launched corporate climate baseline assessments under its N-Zero initiative. This phase aims to evaluate the climate readiness of participating firms, identifying gaps in emissions measurement, transition planning, and risk management. Launched in January alongside DEG Impulse gGmbH and Africa Foresight Group, the program has already engaged over 50 companies, including several major listed entities like Access Holdings, Dangote Cement, and Zenith Bank. The assessments, scheduled for completion this September, are designed to help firms move beyond climate ambition toward measurable, science-aligned decarbonization targets and long-term capital access.

Caverton Offshore Support Group Plc reported a narrowed quarterly loss for the second quarter of 2026, signaling a potential shift toward recovery. While H1 revenue declined to N14.68 billion, the firm saw a 41.2% quarter-on-quarter revenue increase, driven by significant growth in its marine operations. Despite this improved operating momentum, the company remains loss-making with an H1 loss of N8.69 billion, heavily pressured by N8.37 billion in net finance costs and negative equity.

Twelve Nigerian Exchange (NGX) listed companies have paid a cumulative N287.14 million in penalties to NGX Regulation Limited (NGX RegCo) for failing to meet mandatory financial filing deadlines. These sanctions, part of a broader enforcement action involving 49 companies, represent a significant impact on corporate coffers and shareholder value. Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc leads the list with N67.44 million in penalties, followed by International Energy Insurance Plc and Universal Insurance Plc. The penalties underscore the regulatory push for timely disclosures as a pillar of market transparency.
