Nigerian banker Jim Ovia has gained $18.5 million from his stake in Zenith Bank since the start of 2026 as shares in the Lagos-based lender continue to climb on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX). The gain comes as investors return to large, dividend-paying lenders, seeking predictable earnings in an economy still adjusting to currency reforms and inflation pressures.
