This, according to the company, is in continuation of its restructuring programme aimed at repositioning for optimum performance.
The company’s Corporate Communications manager, Steve Ilo, who made this known said the new team would occupy the positions in acting capacities, with immediate effect pending when substantive officers are appointed in line with the regulations of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).

He said the development, followed the retirement of members of the executive management led by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr. RotimiFashola, alongside the Deputy Managing Director, Mr. SinaElusakin, both of whom have served the company in various positions for over 20 years. The Executive Director, Finance and Accounts, Mr. YinkaObalade, also retired, while his Information Technology, Human Resource and Administration counterpart, Mrs. FolusoGbadamosi, tendered her resignation.

“The erstwhile management, having laid the requisite foundation and structures for the success of the repositioning agenda, offered to step aside to pave the way for fresh ideas that will further galvanise the advancement of the new strategic direction of the company.
“The board thanked the outgoing management for its immense contribution to the growth of the company and for laying the proper structures and processes for the ongoing restructuring”, Ilo added.
