“This capital raise represents an important step in repositioning the Company to meet these realities while expanding our capacity to deliver innovative insurance solutions across key sectors of the economy.

“The additional capital will strengthen Guinea Insurance’s financial stability and regulatory compliance, expand underwriting capacity across key sectors of the Nigerian economy, support investments in technology and operational efficiency, and enable greater expansion into the underpenetrated retail and SME insurance markets to drive growth and financial inclusion.”

He concluded that the transaction represents a strategic step towards building a stronger company that is better capitalised, more competitive, more innovative, and better positioned to deliver value to its shareholders and protection to its customers.

In his address at the event, the Group Managing Director of Anchoria Advisory Services Limited, Mr. Sam Chidoka, who represented the Lead Issuing House, emphasized the commendable growth trajectory of Guinea Insurance Plc from its inception to date.
