This value surge stems from a sharp rise in Seplat's share price on the Nigerian Exchange Limited, soaring from N12,320.60 to N14,907.80. Elumelu, through Heirs Energies Ltd and Heirs Holdings Ltd, indirectly owns 120.4 million Seplat shares, representing 20.07% of the company. This substantial position has grown to N1.79 trillion from around N1.37 trillion at the end of June, bolstered by stronger earnings, increased production, and dividend payments. The interim dividend of N165.50 per share, consisting of N68.96 from core and N96.54 from special dividends, adds another N19.92 billion to Elumelu's gross entitlement.",
