Lasaco Assurance Secures Shareholder Commitments to Drive Capitalisation Plans
Lasaco Assurance Plc has secured formal commitment letters from its shareholders following its recently concluded Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM), reinforcing confidence in the company’s capitalisation strategy amid ongoing regulatory reforms in Nigeria’s insurance industry.
The commitments provide a clear pathway for the company to proceed with its approved plan to raise additional capital in compliance with the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act and other relevant regulatory requirements.
Speaking on the development, the Acting Managing Director of Lasaco Assurance Plc, Mr. Ademoye Shobo, described the shareholders’ confirmation as a major milestone that brings clarity and certainty to the capital-raising process.
“The commitment letters from our shareholders give us the confidence to move forward with our capitalisation plans in line with the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act and other regulatory guidelines governing the insurance industry. We intend to leverage all available opportunities to raise the approved capital, and our existing shareholders should watch out for our rights issue as part of this process,” Shobo said.

With shareholders’ support now formally documented, the company is set to actively pursue various funding options to achieve the approved capital raise. Lasaco Assurance plans to deploy a combination of market-based instruments, including a rights issue and other permissible fundraising structures, to ensure efficient and timely capital mobilisation.
Management noted that the shareholder commitments further underscore investor confidence in the company’s growth strategy, corporate governance framework, and long-term business outlook. The planned capital raise is expected to strengthen the company’s balance sheet, enhance its underwriting capacity, and provide greater flexibility for expansion across its core insurance business segments.
As part of the capitalisation process, existing shareholders have been advised to look out for the forthcoming rights issue, which will allow them to participate proportionately in the company’s capital expansion. Lasaco Assurance reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and full regulatory compliance throughout the fundraising exercise.
The company described the capitalisation drive as a strategic move aimed at sustaining competitiveness, improving risk-bearing capacity, and positioning Lasaco Assurance for long-term growth within Nigeria’s insurance market.

NEM Insurance Plc has reaffirmed its strong growth momentum after submitting its Q1 2026 financial forecast to the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX), projecting sustained profitability and balance-sheet expansion.

According to the forecast, the leading general insurance underwriter expects total assets to rise to ₦177.28 billion in the first quarter of 2026. Insurance revenue is projected at ₦65.26 billion, while profit before tax is estimated at ₦13.16 billion and profit after tax at ₦11.71 billion, highlighting continued operational efficiency.

The upbeat outlook underscores NEM Insurance’s confidence in its business fundamentals, supported by strong underwriting performance, prudent risk management, and effective investment strategies.

The company’s positive trajectory follows a robust 2025 financial performance. In line with its commitment to shareholder value, NEM Insurance paid a ₦5.02 billion dividend for the 2024 financial year, a decision that earned commendation from shareholders at its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Earlier, the insurer’s unaudited Q3 2025 results, filed with the NGX, revealed significant growth. Total assets climbed to ₦165.46 billion as of September 30, 2025, up from ₦121.93 billion at the end of December 2024. Shareholders’ equity also increased to ₦80.97 billion from ₦65.44 billion, strengthening the company’s capital base.

Operational performance showed strong year-on-year improvement, with insurance revenue surging by 55 per cent to ₦107.44 billion in Q3 2025, compared to ₦69.52 billion in the same period of 2024.

Industry analysts say NEM Insurance Plc’s consistent earnings growth, solid capital position and reliable dividend history place it in a strong position to navigate industry challenges and seize emerging opportunities in Nigeria’s insurance market.

With its optimistic Q1 2026 forecast now before the NGX, NEM Insurance appears well-positioned to build on its recent successes and reinforce its reputation as one of Nigeria’s most resilient insurance companies.
