Transcorp Plc yesterday discussed its sterling performance for the full year 2025 and projection for the 2026 financial year.
Speaking during investors call, Transcorp Plc President/Group CEO, Dr. Owen Omogiafo, said with revenue growth by 33 per cent to N544 billion, and profit after tax rose 44 per cent, the conglomerate’s 2025 performance was its best ever.
The performance, she disclosed, was largely driven by strong execution across power and hospitality segments.
“Despite sector-wide challenges, including gas constraints, grid instability, and inflation, our power business expanded capacity significantly to reinforce national supply, while hospitality delivered robust growth. With a strengthened balance sheet and reduced leverage, Transcorp is well-positioned for sustained expansion and long-term value creation,” she said.

Incorporated in 2004 and listed on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) in 2006, the Group has grown into a multi-sector powerhouse with a clear purpose: Improving Lives, Transforming Africa. With three operating segments, over 2,500 employees, and a strong presence across Nigeria.

“Transcorp’s power subsidiaries–Transcorp Power Plc and Transafam Power Limited–collectively hold a combined installed capacity of approximately 2,000 MW, representing approximately 15 per cent of Nigeria’s total grid capacity. The Group is actively advancing its capacity expansion targets, with a year-end 2026 target of 760 MW average available capacity for Transcorp Power, underscoring its commitment to powering Nigeria’s economic growth,” she said.
