Continental Reinsurance has once again demonstrated its commitment to driving growth and innovation in Africa’s insurance industry through impactful investments in education and technology.

In line with its long-standing corporate social responsibility and talent development initiatives, the company recently partnered with the College of Insurance and Financial Management (CIFM) and the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) to establish a cutting-edge ICT facility at the college.

The ₦70 million “M.H. Koguna IT Lab” — named in honour of Continental Reinsurance’s first Chairman — was conceived by Group Managing Director, Lawrence Nazare, in December 2024, and successfully brought to life under the leadership of Managing Director, Dr. Fatai Lawal.

The project underscores the company’s dedication to fostering digital learning and equipping the next generation of insurance professionals with essential technological skills.

At the official launch held on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, industry leaders and stakeholders gathered to celebrate this milestone. Among the dignitaries present were Dr. Fatai Lawal, Executive Director Emeka Akwiwu, Regional Director (Lagos) Ogadi Onwuaduegbo, CIIN President Mrs. Yetunde Ilori, and Chairman of the CIFM Board, Jide Orimolade.

Together, they highlighted the project’s significance in shaping a more innovative, resilient, and technology-driven insurance sector for the future.
