Guinea Insurance PLC has reaffirmed its commitment to corporate transformation and governance renewal with a high-level Board of Directors retreat held from May 15 to 16, 2025, at the Lagos Continental Hotel, Victoria Island. The two-day retreat was followed by a formal Board meeting on May 17, marking a significant milestone in the company’s leadership transition and strategic realignment.
The event provided a platform for both outgoing and newly appointed Board members to engage in collaborative dialogue, knowledge-sharing sessions, and future-focused deliberations aimed at reinforcing leadership synergy and repositioning the firm for sustainable growth.
Key among the developments was the formal onboarding of new Directors recently approved by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM). Mr. Temitope Borishade assumed the role of Chairman of the Board, while Mrs. Bernice Izilen Okosun, Mrs. Ijeoma Pearl Okoro, and Dr. Nkemakonam Chukwukaodinaka joined as Non-Executive Directors. They now sit alongside existing Board members, including Mr. Samuel Onukwue (Non-Executive Director) and Mrs. Chioma Okigbo (Independent Non-Executive Director), as well as Executive Directors—Mr. Ademola Abidogun (Managing Director/CEO), Mr. Pius Edobor (ED, Finance & Corporate Services), and Mrs. Ogonna Offor-Orabueze (ED, Technical).
During the retreat, the company reviewed its operational performance, brand repositioning efforts, stakeholder engagement strategies, and plans to strengthen profitability. Management also presented strategic updates on structural reforms and market expansion opportunities, reinforcing Guinea Insurance’s resolve to become a formidable player in Nigeria’s insurance industry.
Speaking at the event, Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Ademola Abidogun, described the retreat as a pivotal step in the company’s transformation journey.
“This retreat reflects our determination to entrench a culture of corporate excellence, deepen stakeholder trust, and unlock new levels of strategic growth,” Abidogun said. “The blend of continuity and fresh insight at the Board level positions us well to chart a clear course for improved profitability and long-term competitiveness.”
Guinea Insurance PLC, which has a long-standing legacy in the Nigerian insurance landscape, said it remains focused on building a resilient, innovation-driven, and customer-centric brand that meets the evolving needs of policyholders and investors.
