Daily Economy Concept, the publisher of Daily Economy, a fast-growing multimedia platform, has announced plans to celebrate its second anniversary with the official launch of a landmark book titled “Trends in Nigeria’s Insurance Industry (2005–2025) & Selected Insurance Icons.”

The event is scheduled to hold on March 31, 2026, at the Lagos Oriental Hotel by 10:00 a.m., and is expected to bring together key stakeholders from across Nigeria’s insurance and financial sectors.

The occasion will feature prominent personalities in the insurance and financial services industry. The Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), Olusegun Ayo Omosehin, will be the Chief Keynote Speaker and Chief Presenter of the book.

The Chairman of the Occasion is the Chairman of Prestige Insurance Brokers Limited, Prince (Dr.) Feyisayo Soyewo, MFR, while the Special Guest of Honour is the Group Managing Director/CEO of the African Reinsurance Corporation, Corneille Karekezi.

Other distinguished guests expected at the event include the President of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), Mrs. Yetunde Ilori; Chairman of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), Mr. Kunle Ahmed; and President and Chairman of the Governing Board of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers, Mrs. Ekeoma Ezeibe, FCIB.

The book, written by Nike Popoola, a multiple award-winning journalist and Editor of Daily Economy, provides a comprehensive account of the transformation of Nigeria’s insurance industry over the past two decades. It documents major reforms, regulatory developments, recapitalisation efforts, and the contributions of notable industry leaders.

Speaking ahead of the launch, Popoola said the publication was inspired by the need to document the industry’s evolution and preserve its institutional memory.

“This book is the product of extensive research and years of covering the insurance sector. It tells the story of how the industry has evolved from a relatively underdeveloped sector into one that is increasingly relevant to Nigeria’s economy. Importantly, it highlights the people whose contributions have shaped this transformation,” she said.

Also speaking on the significance of the event, the Publisher of Daily Economy noted that the anniversary and book launch represent a major milestone for the organisation.

“As a publication committed to deepening financial literacy and industry knowledge, we are proud to present this book as a contribution to the insurance ecosystem. It is not just a celebration of our journey over the past two years, but also a platform to spotlight the growth and potential of Nigeria’s insurance industry,” the Publisher said.

The publication offers rich insights for industry professionals, policymakers, researchers, and students, while also featuring photographic documentation of key events that have shaped the industry over the last 20 years. The event will provide a unique platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and reflection on the future of insurance in Nigeria.
