Enterprise Life, Nigeria, a subsidiary of Enterprise Group PLC, has now opened its doors to the Nigerian public for business.

It will be recalled that the Company was granted its operating license from the Nigerian National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) in November 2020, after meeting all the necessary requirements including a stated capital of ₦8billion. 

This latest development is a significant milestone in the Group’s expansion project into foreign markets, coming a few years after its first venture beyond the shores of Ghana, into The Gambia.

According to the Group CEO, Keli Gadzekpo, Enterprise Group PLC has had its eye on the Nigerian market for quite a few years, due to the strategic importance of that country to the economic development of the West African sub-region.

Mr. Gadzekpo further stated that while he is proud of the many successes the Group has chalked in Ghana and The Gambia over the years, there is something especially exciting about entering the Nigerian market.

It not only allows the Group to increase its international footprint, but it also gives opportunity for the Company’s expertise and experience in the insurance sector to be made available to a truly large market. 

He further explained that since life insurance plays a unique role in multi-generational wealth creation and preservation, life insurance in Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, has great potential to act as a catalyst of change to end the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Africa.

Mrs Funmi Omo, Managing Director of Enterprise Life, Nigeria, disclosed that the aim of Enterprise Life is to expand the insurance net in Nigeria by offering innovative and relevant life insurance solutions, using a needs-based approach to sales.
