INSURANCE INDUSTRY AND RECAPITALISATION

INSURANCE INDUSTRY AND RECAPITALISATION

A well-capitalised insurance industry is a boon to the economy.

Last week, the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) issued an ultimatum to insurance companies operating in the country to recapitalise on or before July 2026. Failure to do so, according to NAICOM, will attract severe sanctions, including liquidation or forced merger. This is in line with the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act 2025, which requires industry players to increase their capital to N10 billion (life insurance) and N15 billion for non-life while reinsurance companies now require N35 billion.

Section 9(4) of the Insurance Act, 2003 empowers NAICOM to increase, from time to time, the amount of minimum paid-up share capital statutorily prescribed for Nigerian insurers, and there is no doubt that the new minimum capital requirements will have significant impact on the Nigerian insurance industry. In the last exercise five years ago (June 2020), NAICOM had directed that the minimum paid-up share capital of a Life insurance company be increased from N2 billion to N8 billion; Non-Life insurance from N3 billion to N10 billion and Composite insurance from N5 billion to N18 billion. The capital injection requirement was also raised by 400 per cent (Life); 333 per cent (Non-Life); 360 per cent (Composite) and 200 per cent (Re-Insurance).

We agree with NAICOM that Nigerian insurers should mobilise more capital to facilitate the acquisition of modern digital and technology-driven infrastructure necessary to aid their efforts at deepening insurance penetration in the country. Measured as a percentage of GDP, Nigeria is still far behind South Africa, Kenya and even Ghana in insurance penetration. Meanwhile, despite the astronomical increase in the value of insured assets, consequent exposure to higher level of insured liabilities and operating cost, recapitalisation exercises have been few in the sector. It is therefore expected that just like the banking sector, meeting up with the new minimum capital requirement will help ignite further consolidation of the insurance sector as some insurers may seek to merge or be acquired by bigger firms. 

In the 2025 Insurance Industry Report released in March this year by the risk and credit rating agency, Agusto & Co, insurance revenue in Nigeria is estimated to have crossed the N1 trillion mark in the financial year ended 31 December 2024. “The industry benefited from aggressive marketing activities and an upward review of premiums to reflect the prevailing inflationary pressure,” according to the agency while recommending stricter enforcement of compulsory insurance policies, a more efficient product distribution and an enlarged capital base to support the insurance income. “The increased spending on infrastructure development by the various tiers of government would also increase the revenue from underwriting the underlying risks.”

While most reports portend vast growth potential for the Nigerian insurance industry, many licensed insurers are still largely under-capitalised, thereby limiting their ability to take on big ticket in-country risks, as may be seen in the oil and gas, marine and aviation sectors of the economy. Given Nigeria’s untapped humongous potential in the global insurance marketplace, a well-capitalised industry where insurers with deep pockets and excellent local capacity can play is desirable and will contribute to improving the economy.

Therefore, as insurance and reinsurance companies begin the necessary move towards shoring up their capital base during the next 11-month period granted to existing operators to fully comply, it is expected that the market will gear up for new private equity and mergers and acquisition deals in the coming months. With this impending recapitalisation and consolidation exercise, it is also hoped that the insurance companies that will emerge at the end of the exercise will be stronger and deeper in the capacity to take on profitable high risks. This would enable the Nigerian insurance industry function well and fit into an integrated global financial marketplace.

FAREWELL, OLU-IBUKUN: BROADCASTING TRAIL-BLAZER AND MORE

FAREWELL, OLU-IBUKUN: BROADCASTING TRAIL-BLAZER AND MORE

A distinguished international statesman, engineer, educator and community leader bows out gloriously, writes MONDAY PHILIPS EKPE 

Our paths first crossed in 1999. I was then the features editor of THISDAY newspapers. Television broadcasting in Nigeria had just clocked four decades and I wanted something unique to grace my pages in commemoration. A meeting was arranged with the first African managing director and technical consultant of the Western Nigeria Radio and Television Broadcasting Corporation (WNTV-WNBS), Ibadan, Nigerian Television Authority (NTA)’s precursor. Two hours of interaction with Otunba (Dr) Lawrence Olu-Ibukun confirmed to me that he was a truly remarkable man.

The immediate product of that encounter was my article in THISDAY, “Song of a Front-liner”, published on October 28, 1999. Its opening paragraphs have remained fresh: “At a certain function, Mr. Vincent Maduka, a former Director General of NTA, introduced him thus: ‘This man gave me my first job.’ Somewhere in Benin-City, during a party, Apostle Hayford Alile, the outgoing Director General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, could not contain his excitement when he saw him. He walked up to him (Olu-Ibukun) and announced, ‘This man taught me physics at Ibadan.’

“When a man like that tells you that he is fulfilled in life, you simply would not have any cause to doubt him. The most important reason why you would believe Dr Olu-Ibukun is that he succeeds in expressing it without any visible trace of arrogance or vanity often associated with men and women that have lengthy, rich and, at times, intimidating curriculum vitae. The voice is that of a contented man. The calculated, dignified intonation belongs to someone thoroughly exposed to civilised socio-linguistic cultures. That does not take from him his innate identity – a down-to-earth mien of a Yoruba man; a worthy owner of the traditional titles of Chief Ajaguna II and Otunba Asiwaju of Ogbagi-Akoko.”

Surely, those ingredients in his humble beginnings that propelled him to enviable, outstanding heights both locally and globally should be of interest to whoever values genuine lifetime achievements. Born in Ogbagi-Akoko, Ondo State in 1932, his tertiary education in University College Ibadan (later re-named University of Ibadan – UI), Imperial College of Science and Technology of the University of London between 1950 and 1957 and, much later, University of Besancon, France, positioned him effectively for the life of an accomplished scholar and technocrat. By the way, his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics was made in London.

Returning to UI in 1957 as a Physics lecturer at the age of 25 years instantly marked Olu-Ibukun as a frontrunner. He was the premier university’s first graduate to do so. The four years he spent on that job also witnessed his foray into politics which yielded the membership of Akoko Divisional Council in Ikare, Western Nigeria House of Assembly Ibadan, representing Owo Central and the House of Representatives. The fine combination of lecturing and democratic representation most likely prepared him for his novel WNTV-WNBS assignment. Again, by the time he joined the television house in 1961, two years after its historic debut, he was the first Nigerian graduate to so do.

A comprehensive indigenisation of the first television establishment in Africa had just begun. The regional government of Chief Obafemi Awolowo needed someone who could negotiate with its foreign partners and fast-track the process of de-colonising the organisation in order to achieve full technical, operational and cultural repositioning. Olu-Ibukun was saddled with the tasks of costs-cutting (too many resources were going into installations and maintenance), smooth operations, adequate programming and recruitment of competent personnel.

Chief Awolowo, revered sage and visionary, was not about to gamble with his pet iconic project. The new helmsman was, therefore, given only one year to do everything he could to make his briefs possible. Thankfully, his two years on the job eventually made critical inputs into the history of broadcasting in Africa. Before he assumed the post, there were over 50 expatriates in the nascent institution. Only six remained by the time he was through with the restructuring.  

His reminiscences about that sensitive period as relayed in my interview 26 years ago are characteristic of his level-headedness and still instructive: “I really had not much to fall back on. I was a young man full of zest and enthusiasm. I knew what it meant to stand on the floor of the House to put my views and convictions across. I also knew very well, by the grace of God, what it took to impart knowledge to eager students. Having to take major decisions in an industry that was emerging was a different matter. All I needed to do which I did was take my time and study the situation. I was also fortunate to have people under me who knew what was at stake, what we all stood to gain or lose in the event of success or failure.

“I might not have achieved the best performance but, all the same, to the best of my ability, I thought I left a mark there. Some of the people who were in a position to know then tell me even now that I tried my best. I don’t have any reason to think that they’re out to flatter me. In any case, only posterity can judge. If NTA celebrates 40 years today, it is doing that not necessarily as a body. It is indeed celebrating the advent of a new phenomenon in Africa as a whole. Outside, people give a lot of credit to Nigeria for this. I thank God I was part of the team that saw to it that the thing had a good start.”

That team led by Olu-Ibukun had every reason to raise its head high. The foundation it laid was strong enough to chart a road not travelled in these parts at the time. And that infant platform produced personalities like Ambassador Segun Olusola, Steve Rhodes, Julie Coker and Maduka who eventually became the nation’s television role models, idols and legends. Maduka was later appointed as the pioneer director general of the federally-reconfigured NTA in 1977. The administrative and professional launchpads of television broadcasting in Nigeria were that formidable.    

The career of this holder of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) kept moving upwards after he left WNTV-WNBS in 1963. A return to UI as a research fellow in Physics. A break into the diplomatic world as deputy director at UNESCO Regional Office for Science and Technology for Africa in Nairobi, Kenya. A teaching come back as senior lecturer at University of Lagos. Other, much longer UNESCO engagements from 1967: programme specialist at the headquarters in Paris – while civil war raged in his home country; director, UNESCO Regional Office for Science and Technology, Nairobi; UNESCO representative to Kenya with ambassadorial status in Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Mauritius and Somalia. His last major portfolio at the United Nations body was deputy assistant director-general based at the Paris headquarters. That ended in 1992 but he remained a consultant to the apex global institution for science and education, among others.

Having retired from the global stage but not tired at 60, the Government College, Ibadan old boy surely had something to offer his own people politically. Or so he thought. But his move for the presidential ticket of the defunct Social Democratic Party in 1993 didn’t click. Settling for special adviser to Ondo State governor on education thereafter meant one thing: heart for service. The more I met with him, the more I became convinced that he was indeed a study in substance. The numerous awards and recognitions that he earned lent credence to a life of real fulfilment and impact. This weekend in Ogbagi, the remains of a true son of the soil will be interred – after 93 years of illustrious, eventful existence. Rest on, Sir.

Tinubu Targets Economic Growth, Development in Osun, Says Minister

Tinubu Targets Economic Growth, Development in Osun, Says Minister

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has said President Bola Tinubu is committed to transforming Osun State through targeted investments in education, agriculture and health empowerment.

Idris stated this during a town hall meeting on the ‘Mid-term Achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s Administration’ in the South-west on Wednesday in Osogbo.

Represented by Mrs Isola Sola, the Head of the Federal Information Centre in the state, Idris said that education, healthcare and agriculture were part of the core pillars of Tinubu’s campaign promises.

The minister said that these three key areas had continued to shape Tinubu’s administration policies and actions since assuming office.

“Agriculture has been a strategic focus of the administration aimed at ensuring good security and empowering rural communities.

“The Federal Government is making efforts to ensure the development of rural and urban infrastructure, such as feeder roads and small-scale bridges.

“Support for agriculture is to increase food production and empowerment, and provision of credit facilities to SMEs, similarly entrepreneurship and supporting local economies,” he said.

Idris said that in the area of healthcare, the Federal Government, through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCD), is partnering with the state government to upgrade six Primary Healthcare Centres to provide 24-hour services.

“In the last two years, PHC has been scaled to improve service delivery, while vulnerable populations, notably pensioners and persons with disabilities, have been enrolled in the state’s health insurance scheme.

“All these are done to ensure that Osun people can have access to healthcare when the need arises in expanding healthcare,” he said.

Idris said that the various support of the Federal Government had assisted the state to win $500,000 as the best-performing state in universal health coverage.

He added that all public and federal tertiary institutions in the state had benefited from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND). (NAN)

UNICEF, Katsina Unveil Committee to Promote Education 

UNICEF, Katsina Unveil Committee to Promote Education 

Francis Sardauna in Katsina

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) in collaboration with the Katsina State Government has unveiled a joint education sector coordination committee to promote education policy formulation and implementation in the state.

The committee, headed by the state Commissioner for Basic and Secondary Education, Zainab Musawa, will also facilitate joint planning, budgeting and resource mobilization for effective education activities.

Presenting the terms of reference of the committee at an inaugural meeting in Katsina Wednesday, the Officer-in-charge, UNICEF Kano Field Office, Michael Banda, said it will improve data sharing and evidence-based decision making in the state.

The meeting was organised by the state ministry of basic and secondary education with support from the United Nations Children’s Fund and other development partners.

Banda said the committee will monitor the Katsina Education Sector Operation Plan and ensure accountability and transparency in education service delivery of the state.

“The committee will also promote collaboration between ministries, departments, agencies, development partners, civil society and other stakeholders. 

“Provide a platform for policy dialogue, coordination and joint decision making. Ensure alignment with state education priorities, SDGs, and education sector plans,” he added.

He reiterated that UNICEF will support the committee for the period of one year, warning its members against negligence.

In her remarks, Musawa announced plans by the state government to establish an Education Trust Fund to boost investment in the state’s education sector. 

She explained that the education trust fund will ensure sustainability, and enhance constant investment in education to complement the government’s efforts of revitalising the sector.

“The establishment of an education trust fund is in the process and it aims at ensuring sustainability and steady investment in the education sector,” the commissioner said.

She added that the state government has constructed and renovated over 200 schools, while three modern schools are undergoing construction in each of the three senatorial zones of the state.

She, however, said insecurity has undermined the state government’s efforts in the education sector, leading to school relocation and declining enrollment drive.

She stressed that the insecurity and other challenges are disrupting learning, widening educational gaps and threatening the future of children in the state.

“Despite recruitment, rural schools still need more qualified and committed teachers. While progress has been made, many communities still await school renovations, furniture and learning materials.

“Our needs remain greater than the resources available, requiring innovation in mobilizing and efficiently utilizing funds,” Musawa said.

How Uba Sani Reversed 54 Cumulative Years of Stagnation in Kaduna State

How Uba Sani Reversed 54 Cumulative Years of Stagnation in Kaduna State

By Nasir Dambatta

“The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.” — Thomas Jefferson

Leadership is not measured by slogans, photo-ops, twitter rants, hauling insults at opponents, or political rhetoric. It is measured by results. And in Kaduna State today, one fact stands tall: Governor Uba Sani has reversed 54 cumulative years of stagnation — years scattered across abandoned roads, shuttered cattle markets, and silenced cultural festivals that insecurity and neglect had buried. In under two years, he has done what others left to gather dust.

This figure — 54 cumulative years — is not abstract. It is real, lived history. It is the 13 years a crucial Karatudu–Romi road was abandoned, leaving communities cut off. It is the 10 years the Birnin Gwari Kara cattle market was closed, suffocating trade, and the rural economy. It is the 18 years the Nom Bajju cultural festival went mute, robbing an entire generation of cultural pride. It is the 6 years the Tuk-Ham festival was silenced, the 4 years Kagoro’s Afan festival was suspended, and the 3 years other Southern Kaduna festivals were muted. Together, these lost years equal 54 years of paralysis. Today, under Uba Sani, they are being smashed.

For over a decade, residents of Karatudu and Romi watched helplessly as their key road turned into a symbol of state failure. Thirteen long years of abandonment meant potholes, accidents, and isolation. Then came Sani’s intervention: construction equipment roared back, signalling that Kaduna’s forgotten corners were no longer invisible. A 13-year blot was erased in one decisive act of governance.

The Kara cattle market in Birnin Gwari was once a hub of commerce, linking herders, buyers, and traders across Nigeria. Insecurity strangled it, shutting it down for a decade. Families lost livelihoods, and the local economy bled. When Sani reopened it, the symbolism was deeper than economics — it was the return of hope. Trade, trust, and confidence are back, all because leadership chose to confront insecurity rather than narrate it.

Culture too tells a people who they are. When the Nom Bajju cultural festival was silenced for 18 years, an entire generation grew up without seeing their heritage celebrated. In December 2023, it thundered back. For the Bajju people, this was more than music and dance — it was a rebirth of identity. It took courage, reconciliation, and the restoration of peace to make it possible. That is the Uba Sani difference.

The Tuk-Ham festival, suspended for 6 years, and Kagoro’s Afan festival, muted for 4 years, both returned under Sani. In Southern Kaduna, festivals are not mere entertainment — they are binding symbols of unity, pride, and resilience. When insecurity shut them down, communities felt voiceless. By reopening these cultural spaces, Sani has not only restored joy but also rebuilt trust between government and people.

It is one thing to reopen a market or rebuild a road. It is another to understand the scale of what Kaduna lost before Sani arrived. When you add it all together — 13 years here, 10 years there, 18 years elsewhere — it becomes a staggering 54 cumulative years of stagnation. That is more than half a century of silence, paralysis, and decay overturned by one administration’s resolve.

What Uba Sani is doing in Kaduna is not cosmetic politics. It is resurrection. He is dragging forgotten projects out of the grave, breathing life back into markets once written off, and giving communities back their cultural heartbeat. Each reopening is a statement: Kaduna will no longer bow to fear. Leadership has returned to confront insecurity with vision and courage.

The lesson for Nigeria is clear. Roads do not reconstruct themselves. Markets do not reopen on their own. Festivals do not revive without peace and political will. It takes leadership with focus, empathy, and courage. Sani has shown that governance is not about excuses or propaganda; it is about rolling back the years insecurity stole and giving people their lives back.

Kaduna’s story today is not about paralysis but revival. From a 13-year road jinx to an 18-year cultural silence, from a 10-year market closure to festivals muted for 3 to 6 years, Uba Sani has undone a staggering 54 cumulative years of stagnation. In the process, he has reset the trajectory of the state. History will not remember the silence of those lost years. It will remember the governor who broke them.

“The legitimate object of government is to do for a community of people whatever they need to have done, but cannot do at all, or cannot so well do, for themselves—in their separate and individual capacities.” — Abraham Lincoln
