Heirs Insurance companies – Heirs General Insurance Limited (formerly Heirs Insurance Limited), and Heirs Life Assurance (HLA) – have announced appointments to their senior leadership positions, as well as the name change of Heirs Insurance Limited to Heirs General Insurance (HGI).

Heirs General Insurance announced the appointment of Wole Fayemi to the role of MD/CEO effective from Tuesday, May 02, 2023.

Wole Fayemi has over two decades of experience in the Nigerian insurance industry.  Prior to joining HGI, he served as Executive Director, Technical, Old Mutual General Insurance, where he led the operations team to achieve top-line growth, re-organised the structural re-alignment of processes for higher efficiency, and drove the strategic direction of the operations team.

I have great confidence that he is the right leader for Heirs General Insurance, for the next phase of its business growth.  His deep knowledge in the insurance industry and excellent business development skills will play an important role in the future of the company – driving business expansion and establishing the company as a 21st century insurer.”

The Board of Directors of Heirs Life Assurance has announced the promotion of Tosin Bayo-Yusuf to the position of Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer. Tosin’s appointment follows the retirement of Wasiu Amao, the former Executive Director, Technical.

Tosin Bayo-Yusuf has a cumulative 17 years of work experience in the Nigerian Insurance industry.

She joined Heirs Life in 2021 and has held several leadership positions as the Head, Individual Life Operations, and most recently, as the Head of Bancassurance, where she championed the bancassurance partnership with United Bank for Africa.  She will support Heirs Life MD/CEO, Niyi Onifade, in driving the operations of the company.

Heirs General and Heirs Life companies reiterated their commitment and support to their regulators, National Insurance Commission, in increasing the insurance penetration across Nigeria and redefining the insurance experience for millions of Nigerians.

Both companies are subsidiaries of Heirs Holdings, a pan-African investment company with operations across twenty countries worldwide.
