Continental Reinsurance has emphasized the critical need for ongoing leadership development within Nigeria’s insurance sector to enhance growth and the industry’s influence on the economy. During a recent CEO Breakfast event in Lagos, Dr. Akin Oparison highlighted that effective leadership should focus on translating power into influence to drive business objectives. He noted Nigeria’s low insurance penetration, particularly within the informal sector, as a challenge that could be addressed through building trust and expanding service offerings beyond large businesses. Together with Mr. Lawrence Nazare, they pointed out that creating tailored retail solutions is essential for meeting the diverse needs of various economic segments.
