Reforms in the industry have fuelled a rally in insurance stocks, contributing to the equities market’s impressive performance. This is as the NGX Insurance lead the sectoral indices with a gain of 8.8 per cent.

The upturn was driven by price appreciation in large and medium-capitalised stocks, including BUA Foods, Guinness Nigeria, Nigerian Exchange Group, CAP, and NEM Insurance.
