The consolidation of business activities following the merger would allow for more efficient utilisation of their resources, greater economies of scale, reduction in overheads and other expenses as well as improvement in various operating parameters, the statement added.

The release further stated that the merger would enable it to rationalise, standardise and simplify business processes, which would allow the elimination of duplication and rationalisation of administrative expenses.
