President Bola Tinubu has signed into law the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025, a sweeping legislative overhaul aimed at modernising the nation’s insurance sector and advancing Nigeria’s economic ambition of becoming a $1 trillion economy.
The NIIRA 2025 replaces several outdated insurance laws with a unified, forward-looking legal framework that provides for the comprehensive regulation and supervision of all insurance and reinsurance operations within Nigeria.
This landmark legislation reaffirms the Federal Government’s commitment to financial stability, economic growth, and inclusive development.
Under the new Act, the insurance industry is set to witness far-reaching changes designed to improve transparency, boost investor confidence, and enhance the sector’s global competitiveness.
The reform introduces more stringent capital requirements to ensure the financial soundness of operators, mandates the enforcement of compulsory insurance policies to protect consumers, and drives the digitisation of the insurance market to improve accessibility and operational efficiency.
The law also seeks to eliminate delays in claims settlement, strengthen protections for policyholders—particularly in cases of insolvency—and expand Nigeria’s participation in regional insurance schemes, including the ECOWAS Brown Card System.
The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has been tasked with implementing the provisions of the Act, with the objective of unlocking the full potential of Nigeria’s insurance sector and significantly increasing penetration across the country.
President Tinubu’s endorsement of the NIIRA 2025 marks a major step forward in the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
The reform is expected to attract new investments, restore public trust in the insurance system, and firmly establish Nigeria as a leading insurance hub on the African continent.
