Mutual Benefits Assurance Bets Big on Oil & Gas, Eyes Industry Leadership
Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc has taken a bold step into the oil and gas sector, positioning itself for long-term growth and market dominance. The company’s Chairman, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, revealed this at its 29th Annual Thanksgiving Service in Lagos, highlighting strategic investments that could redefine its future.
Key Highlights from the Announcement:
✅ Strategic Oil & Gas Investment: Mutual Benefits Assurance has heavily invested in oil assets, which have now gone into production. According to Dr. Ogunbiyi, this move will position the company as the biggest insurance firm in the industry within the next two years.
✅ Oil Assets Driving Growth: The company is not only a substantial investor but also the primary financier of these oil assets. “With the impact these assets will have on our balance sheet, the blue sky will not limit us,” Ogunbiyi stated.
✅ Prepared for Recapitalisation: Should the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) initiate a recapitalisation process this year, Mutual Benefits Assurance is fully ready to comply and strengthen its financial position.
Strong Financial Performance Despite Economic Challenges
The Managing Director/CEO, Femi Asenuga, highlighted the company’s impressive growth:
• Gross premium written surged to N40 billion in the last financial year, compared to N23 billion the previous year.
• Despite economic difficulties, the company remains optimistic about exceeding last year’s achievements.
The Road Ahead
With a strong foothold in oil & gas, steady financial growth, and readiness for recapitalisation, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc is setting itself up for industry leadership. If these strategic moves pay off, the company could become one of Nigeria’s biggest insurance firms in the near future.
