Mr. Elumelu made this comment when he was asked about rumors of a potential spin-off of Transcorp Power Plc following a board resolution passed after its Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Elumelu denied the rumors that he planned to list Transcorp Power as a separate institution on the Exchange, stating that the conglomerate was in it for the long term.

  • “No (we are not listing), I hear that rumor from time to time, especially after some competing institutions were listed on the Exchange. No, we are long-term players, we want to grow more and significant value in the power sector.” Elumelu said.

He, however, proceeded to confirm that a spin-off was on the cards, albeit in 5 years, on the condition that transmission lines and challenges with gas would have been fixed.

  • “We are looking at about 5 years from now to list Transcorp Power because we believe the transmission lines would have been fixed and the gas supply to the power sector would have improved significantly,” Elumelu said.

At an expected valuation of N1.8 trillion, Transcorp Power will become the second most valuable power company on the exchange and will automatically join the SWOOTs( Stocks Worth Over One Trillion Naira).
