Odu’a Investment Company Limited has officially commissioned the new Glanvills House for Glanvills Enthoven Insurance Brokers & Pensions Consultants Limited at 64, Ikorodu Road, Fadeyi, Lagos
It described it as a bold statement of growth and a reflection of its commitment to expanding and modernising its subsidiaries.
The commissioning ceremony, held today Friday, brought together directors of Odu’a Investment Company, board members of Glanvills Enthoven Insurance Brokers & Pensions Consultants, representatives of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), managing directors of insurance companies, brokers, clients, and business partners.
Speaking at the event, the Group Chairman of Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Otunba Bimbo Ashiru, said the occasion was not merely about opening a building but about celebrating vision, resilience, and sustained commitment to excellence across the Group.
He described Glanvills as the flagship insurance brokerage subsidiary of Odu’a Investment, noting that the new facility represents a milestone in its journey from a trusted insurance broker and pensions consultant into a stronger, modernised institution. He added that the building is a physical manifestation of the group’s resolve to expand, innovate, and deliver superior value.
Otunba Ashiru commended the Board of Glanvills, its Managing Director, Dr. Olasupo Falana, and staff for their professionalism and dedication, saying their efforts built not only a structure but also trust and reputation. He charged the company to use the new office as a launchpad for innovation, deeper client relationships, and service excellence, while reaffirming Odu’a’s vision to reposition its subsidiaries for competitiveness and operational efficiency.
Similarly, the Group Managing Director of Odu’a Investment Company, Mr. Abdulrahman Yinusa, described the new headquarters as more than an upgraded address, but a strategic investment to enhance client experience, operational efficiency, brand visibility, and productivity. He said Glanvills had been identified as a key growth driver within the group’s financial services portfolio.
Yinusa noted that the facility would improve service delivery, strengthen client trust, and support faster response times. He added that Glanvills’ national presence across major Nigerian cities now has a fitting headquarters in Lagos to anchor its expanding network.
He urged management to ensure measurable growth in market share, client satisfaction, and profitability, stressing that performance would be closely monitored.
The Managing Director of Glanvills, Dr. Falana, described the event as a celebration of a historic corporate journey rooted in professionalism, integrity, and transformation. He highlighted the company’s evolution from its London origins in 1957 to its growth into a leading indigenous insurance brokerage firm.
He reaffirmed commitment to regulatory compliance, innovation, and ethical standards, while describing employees as the true builders of the institution.
