SanlamAllianz Nigeria has further cemented its reputation in the Nigerian insurance sector, being named among the Top 50 Good to Great Companies (Certified) by Business Times, a prominent Lagos-based business and finance publication. The accolade recognizes companies in Nigeria that demonstrate strong corporate governance, visible community impact, financial stability, and employee confidence.

In addition, the firm’s Managing Director and CEO, Tunde Mimiko, was honoured as Life Insurance Personality of the Year at the African Prize for Leadership Excellence. The award, organized by the African Institute for Leadership Excellence in collaboration with African Leadership Review Media Ltd and supported by NEPAD, celebrates leaders who make outstanding contributions to Africa’s development while exemplifying corporate citizenship and social responsibility.

Responding to the awards, Mimiko stated:

“It is one thing to do great work in your little corner, but to be recognized on this scale is truly an honour. I dedicate this award to the entire SanlamAllianz Nigeria team, whose commitment ensures we remain leaders in our industry. Without them, a leader is just another individual.”

Chris Ekwonwa, Group Head of Strategy, Marketing, and Customer Relations, applauded the achievements and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to enhancing customer confidence and deepening insurance penetration in Nigeria.

These recognitions add to a series of recent accolades for the newly rebranded company, including:

• FiBOP: Most Visible Insurance Company
• Netcore/Infytel: Insight-Driven Innovators
• NiRA: .NG Insurance Website of the Year for www.sanlamallianz.com.ng
• Business Times: Top 50 Good to Great Company
