NIA Chairman Speaks About Fusion Of Insurance, Tech At IMT Conference

The chairman of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), Kunle Ahmed, is set to speak about  the fusion of insurance and technology to enhance insurance penetration in the country.

As a guest of honour for the highly anticipated IMT 4.0 Conference, scheduled for Thursday, September 18, 2025, in Lagos, the CEO of AXA Mansard Insurance Plc, joins a high-powered lineup of leaders from key insurance institutions, who have now confirmed their participation in the leading conference.

Insurance Meets Tech (IMT) is West Africa’s platform for converging insurance and technology innovations, colloquium, and discourse on policy environment and operational efficiencies.

Kunle Ahmed, also the CEO of AXA Mansard Insurance, joins a high-powered lineup of leaders from key insurance institutions who have confirmed their participation in the leading conference.

They include: the president of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), Prince Babatunde Oguntade; president and chairman of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), Yetunde Olubunmi Ilori; the president of the Professional Insurance Ladies Association (PILA), Abimbola Onakomaiya, and most importantly, the commissioner for Insurance/chief executive officer, National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), Olusegun Ayo Omosehin.

The convener of Insurance Meet Tech (IMT) and CEO of Modion Communications, Odion Aleobua, warmly welcomed Ahmed, saying, “Having the chairman of NIA on board is a monumental buildup to this event. Kunle Ahmed is not only a respected leader in the industry, spearheading the premier umbrella body, but he is also a dedicated advocate for the digitalisation and tech-led innovations within the Nigerian insurance sector.

“There couldn’t be a better time for him to join us at the IMT, especially following the passage of the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) and the launch of the NIA Innovation Lab. His insights and perspectives will undoubtedly enrich the discussions at the conference.”

With key institutions such as NAICOM, CIIN, NIA, NCRIB, and PILA fully involved in this year’s edition, it affirms that IMT is the most critical convening ground for Nigeria’s insurance ecosystem —a coalition of leadership voices ready to write a new chapter for the industry, he said.

The 2025 edition of Insurance Meets Tech will feature Per Lagerström from South Africa as the Headline Speaker. He is a global thought leader in insurtech, behavioural science, and innovation.
