According to NAICOM, the chairman of the insurance firm is the astute Nigerian banker, Tony Elumelu, the current chairman of United Bank for Africa Group, and founder of Heirs Holdings. The new insurer has Japhet Duru as executive director (Technical and Operations), among other directors, while Olaniyi Stepehen Onifade will act in the capacity of the managing director and chief executive officer.
  • Stanbic IBTC Insurance Limited was incorporated with the CAC in May 2012 to perform insurance business in the country. The about to be registered insurance firm is chaired by Yinka Sanni, chief executive officer, Stanbic IBTC Holdings, while Sakeerat Bakare and Dunny Semwityo will function as executive directors, along with other board members as non-executive directors, while Akinjide Orimolade, will function as the company’s managing director and chief executive officer.
  • Heirs Life Assurance Limited, incorporated in February 2019, will be headed by Abah Okoriko as managing director and chief executive officer, with Abdulqadir Jeli Bello functioning as the its chairman. There are other board members to serve as executive directors and non-executive directors, respectively.
