The Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025 repeals and consolidates several outdated insurance laws into a single, modern legal framework.

According to a statement by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the new Act provides for comprehensive regulation and supervision of all insurance and reinsurance businesses operating within Nigeria.

This development reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to financial stability, economic development, and inclusive growth.

According to the statement, the NIIRA Act 2025 ushers in a new era of transparency, innovation, and global competitiveness for the insurance industry.

Onanuga added that it aligns with the Federal Government’s vision of achieving a $1 trillion economy.

The statement reads in part ”As part of the Renewed Hope Agenda for the Insurance Sector, the Act introduces critical measures such as stringent capital requirements to ensure the financial soundness of operators; enforcement of compulsory insurance policies to enhance consumer protection; digitisation of the insurance market to improve access and efficiency.”

Others include, ”Zero tolerance for delays in claims settlement; creation of dedicated policyholder protection funds, especially in cases of insolvency and expanded participation in regional insurance schemes, including the ECOWAS Brown Card System.

“The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) is mandated to administer and implement the provisions of the NIIRA 2025 in a manner that unlocks the industry’s full potential and significantly improves insurance penetration across the country.”

“The reform introduced by the new law is expected to catalyse new investments, boost consumer confidence, and position Nigeria as a leading insurance hub in Africa,” the statement said.
