Mr. Thomas, who currently serves as Managing Partner at management consultancy firm DASUNOTH Limited, brings over four decades of regulatory and operational expertise to the forum. Prior to completing his tenure at NAICOM in April 2024, he served as Director-General of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), where he spearheaded the implementation of the landmark Nigerian Insurance Industry Database (NIID).
His career also spans executive leadership across NAICOM’s key directorates, board service at PenCom, NCDMB, and Africa Re, as well as chairing both the West African Association of Insurance Supervisory Authorities (WAISA) and the Organisation of African Insurance Supervisory Authorities (OAISA).
The event will feature Special Guests of Honour including current Commissioner for Insurance and CEO of NAICOM, Mr. Olusegun Omosehin, and the Director-General of the National Pension Commission (PenCom), Ms. Omolola Oloworaran. The Group Chairman of NEM Insurance Group, Mr. Tope Smart, will deliver the keynote address.
Other distinguished guests and industry leaders participating in the roundtable include President of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), Mr. Jide Orimolade; CEO of the Pension Operators Association of Nigeria (PenOp), Mrs. Anthonia Ifeanyi-Okoro; Chairman of the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), Mrs. Ebelechukwu Nwachukwu; and President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), Mrs. Ekeoma Ezeibe.
A panel of experts comprising Managing Director of Unitrust Insurance, Mr. Adedayo Arowojolu; pension activist Mr. Ivor Takor; and Managing Director of Alliance & General Insurance Plc, Mrs. Felicia Bolajoko David, will deliberate on key operational bottlenecks facing both sectors.
Highlighting the significance of the event, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Business Journal Media Group, Prince Cookey, described Mr. Thomas as a legendary figure who traversed the insurance market as both an operator and a regulator.
Prince Cookey noted that following the conclusion of the insurance recapitalisation exercise and the ongoing recapitalisation in the pension sector ahead of PenCom’s June 2027 deadline, operators must look beyond capital accumulation. He emphasized that the roundtable will establish actionable roadmaps on how operators can deploy new capital to enhance customer service, navigate post-2027 macroeconomic shifts, and accelerate sustainable contribution to the national economy.
