Daily Economy Marks 2nd Anniversary With Launch of New Book Chronicling the Transformation of Nigeria’s Insurance Industry

Daily Economy is set to celebrate two years of financial reporting by taking a deep dive into the history of Nigerian insurance. On Monday, March 23, 2026, the organization announced that its second-anniversary activities would be headlined by the official presentation of a new book authored by its Editor, Nike Popoola.

The book, “Trends in Nigeria’s Insurance Industry (2005–2025) & Selected Insurance Icons,” is the result of years of on-the-ground reporting and research. It “flips the script” on traditional industry records by documenting major reforms, recapitalization struggles, and the evolution of the sector from a small player into a vital economic pillar. Popoola, who has spent over two decades covering the beat, noted that the book is a “Solution” to the lack of documented institutional memory in the financial sector.

The high-profile launch, scheduled for March 31 at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, is expected to bring together the “who’s who” of the insurance world. Beyond the technical data, the publication features a photographic gallery of key industry events and spotlights the “Icons” the men and women whose leadership shaped the current landscape.

The Publisher of Daily Economy described the event as more than just a birthday celebration. “It is a platform to spotlight the growth and potential of Nigeria’s insurance industry,” they stated. With the Commissioner for Insurance, Olusegun Ayo Omosehin, set to deliver the keynote address, the event promises to be a landmark gathering for professionals, researchers, and policymakers alike.
