Linkage Assurance Plc Raises N16.2bn from Rights Issue Towards Recapitalisation

Linkage Assurance Plc announces the successful completion of its N16.2 billion Rights Issue, which opened on March 11, 2026 and closed on April 23, 2026.

Following the approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) all the shares have been allotted to the subscribers of the issue and the shares have been listed on the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX.)

The rights issue was undertaken in response to the NAICOM’s directive on the recapitalisation of insurance companies in Nigeria.

The conclusion of the capital-raising which was fully subscribed reflects the continued confidence of stakeholders in the company’s Board and Management, governance, financial performance and strategic direction.

The company remains committed to full regulatory compliance and prudent risk management. With its strengthened capital base, the company is well positioned to provide more robust service to its teeming customers and deliver sustainable value to stakeholders.

The proceeds from the issue will be used to meet the minimum capital requirement, in compliance with the new regulatory capital requirements, and to implement business expansion in line with the long-term strategic focus of the company.

Independents to Account for 25% Oil Production by 2020

Independents are projected to account for about 500kbpd by the year 2020, representing 25% of crude oil production in Nigeria, from the current level of 10%. The development is seen as a reflection of the changing landscape of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Key Recommendations: • Integration of the upstream to other parts of the value chain may eventually be driven by the independents. • Challenges such as security, especially for independents operating in shallow waters. Local companies reiterated that security and community challenges have greatly altered their cost of production which cannot be fully ascertained. When coupled with Government take and interest from loans the cost per barrel increases. • Government is to ensure that an enabling environment is created - independents need to be able to deliver on capacity growth and funding.
