Retirement is often viewed as a new beginning, an opportunity to enjoy the fruits of one’s lifetime work. In line with its mission to support clients through every stage of life, Stanbic IBTC Insurance Limited, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings Plc, is set to host the second edition of its Annuitant Forum, themed “Making the Most of Life in Retirement.”
Held online on August 20, 2025, this year’s event opened its doors to participants across Nigeria. The virtual format ensured wider access, allowing retirees and those planning for retirement to engage in meaningful, interactive discussions on topics that matter most, ranging from health and wellness, estate planning, and expert insights on securing a fulfilling retirement.
Akinjide Orimolade, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Insurance Limited, speaking on the importance of the theme highlighted that: “Retirement is a significant milestone that should be embraced with purpose, security and fulfillment. Unfortunately, many are unprepared for the realities that come with this phase. Our goal with this forum is to provide both retirees and employers with practical guidance and holistic advice, helping them navigate this new chapter confidently.”
Participants had discussions on long-term income strategies, the vital role of insurance in maintaining financial stability and how organisations can better support their staff’s retirement journeys. The event also touched on lifestyle aspects such as wellness, leisure and personal growth; reinforcing the idea that retirement is a time to thrive.
The Stanbic IBTC Insurance Annuitant Forum has become an important platform for the organisation to connect with its retirees, strengthen relationships, and reaffirm its leadership in retirement planning solutions.
By hosting the event virtually, the company was committed to making this resource accessible to retirees nationwide, ensuring that no one is left behind in planning for a rewarding retirement.
