Following its acquisition of Old Mutual’s Life and General Insurance businesses in Nigeria, emPLE said it is set to empower Nigerians to create wealth in collaboration with insurance brokers, agents, tech innovators, among others.

Briefing journalists in Lagos recently, the company said that it has distinguished itself to empower Nigerians across various sectors with inclusive, accessible, and sustainable insurance solutions.

The company’s Managing Director, Rantimi Ogunleye, said, “We are excited to lead this new chapter in Nigeria’s insurance industry.  At emPLE, we focus on empowering individuals, households and families with accessible insurance products that not only protect their existing lifestyle but also contribute to long-term generational wealth creation. We are here to showcase the peerless benefits and the possibilities that insurance can unlock for Nigerians.”

The company’s general insurance arm is also driving change through its offerings. These include comprehensive and innovative motor, home, and business insurance products tailored to meet the demands of today’s dynamic and uncertain business landscape.

The Managing Director of emPLE General Insurance Limited, Olalekan Oyinlade, said, “Our goal is to make insurance more accessible to all Nigerians, their enterprises and industries.

“From motor to home and business insurance policies, these solutions will protect our customers from unforeseen risks, focusing on tailored products, quick claims processing, and personalised service. We are particularly proud of how our offerings cater to existing and emerging needs in rapidly changing global and local micro-economic realities.”

He added that emPLE is committed to promoting financial inclusion by ensuring its products are affordable and accessible to a wide range of targeted customers. Moreover, the company, understanding the industry dynamics, will collaborate with key stakeholders, including brokers, agents, and tech innovators, to reshape the Nigerian insurance market through unique product development and exceptional value creation.

“With a forward-thinking approach and a solid foundation following the acquisition, emPLE is prepared to set a new standard in Nigeria’s insurance industry and make insurance an essential part of Nigerians’ economic ethos, growth, and wealth creation,” he said.
