The company views the move as critical to sustaining market confidence and strengthening internal execution capacity.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience in the insurance industry, Jacqueline Uche Agweh brings extensive expertise across underwriting, insurance broking, life assurance, claims administration, and core technical operations. Her broad industry exposure is expected to support the firm’s navigation of regulatory shifts, evolving consumer expectations, and heightened competition.
Prior to her confirmation as Chief Executive Officer, Agweh served as Executive Director, Technical Operations at SanlamAllianz General Insurance, where she was instrumental in improving technical efficiency, refining internal systems, and strengthening risk management frameworks.
