The Forum, themed “Driving Collective Advocacy for the Transformation of Nigeria’s Insurance Industry,” will convene regulators, policymakers, C-suite executives and ecosystem stakeholders to align on the reforms, capabilities and coordinated actions required to unlock the full potential of Nigeria’s insurance sector.

Confirmed speakers include Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, CFR, Chairman of Coronation Group and Access Holdings; Mr Olusegun Ayo Omosehin, Commissioner for Insurance, NAICOM; Senator Tokunbo Abiru, Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Other Financial Institutions; Obi Ibekwe, Chief Executive Officer, EnterpriseNGR; Bola Odukale, Director-General, Nigerian Insurers Association; and Yetunde Olubunmi Ilori, FIIN, President/Chairman of Council, Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria.

Olamide Olajolo, Chief Executive Officer of Coronation Insurance and a member of the Governing Council of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), will participate in the high-level deliberations, contributing to consensus-driven priorities to strengthen regulation, deepen innovation and accelerate sector growth.

The session is designed to move beyond diagnosis towards coordinated action, particularly in the context of ongoing industry reform.

Coronation Insurance is also supporting the Forum as a sponsor, reinforcing its commitment to advancing structured advocacy and sustained collaboration across the ecosystem.

Speaking ahead of the event, Olajolo said: “Transformation requires capacity at every level of the industry. We must strengthen underwriting discipline, scale up actuarial expertise, modernise risk management frameworks, and invest in digital infrastructure that improves transparency and the customer experience. When we build institutional capacity, we build confidence. When we build confidence, we unlock growth.” He continued: “This Forum offers an opportunity to align ambition with execution. Operators, regulators and policymakers must agree on clear, time-bound priorities and remain accountable for delivery. Collective action is how we expand penetration, deepen trust and position insurance as a strategic enabler of economic resilience.”

Adebowale Adesona, Chief Executive Officer of Coronation Life Assurance, emphasised the central role of human capital in shaping the sector’s future.
“Capacity begins with people,” Adesona said. “We must invest in technical skills, uphold professional standards and cultivate leadership that understands both risk and responsibility. A stronger talent pipeline will translate into stronger balance sheets, stronger governance and stronger consumer protection.” He added, “At Coronation, we view capacity as the bridge between reform and results. By developing skills, strengthening systems and promoting innovation, we contribute to a more credible industry, one that mobilises long-term capital, supports enterprise and advances national prosperity.”

Through its active participation, Coronation Insurance reaffirms its position as a leading African financial services partner committed to sustainable wealth creation and to building the institutional strength needed to transform Nigeria’s insurance industry.
