Heirs Life Assurance, the specialist life insurance arm of Heirs Insurance Group, has appointed Pastor Jerry Eze as an Independent Non-Executive Director on its Board, effective August 10, 2026.
The company said the appointment underscores its commitment to deepening financial inclusion and driving insurance adoption through increased public trust, consumer education and long-term financial resilience.
Nigeria’s insurance penetration remains below one percent despite being Africa’s largest economy, underscoring the need for stronger financial protection and greater confidence in insurance products.
According to Heirs Life, Eze’s appointment will bring valuable experience in community engagement, values-based leadership and initiatives with broad societal impact as the company works towards making insurance more accessible to Nigerians.
