BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—Enterprise Life Assurance (Nigeria) Limited has announced the full remittance of its statutory deposit of N1 billion to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), underscoring its robust financial health and compliance with regulatory mandates.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Nelson Akerele, disclosed this during a recent media briefing while addressing the firm’s capital positioning and compliance with the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM).
According to Akerele, Enterprise Life—which entered the Nigerian market approximately five years ago alongside peers like Heirs General and Heirs Life—has progressively built on its foundational capital structure to satisfy current regulatory thresholds.
“We started with ₦8 billion,” Akerele stated, recalling the company’s entry as one of the four entities licensed in that licensing wave. “What we have as a statutory deposit right now, as I speak, is ₦1 billion, which has been fully remitted to the designated account assigned to us.”
Beyond meeting the statutory deposit mandate, the Enterprise Life boss revealed that the company has fully satisfied its Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR).
He attributed this seamless compliance to a deliberate operational strategy that favors liquid assets over heavy fixed investments.
Unlike traditional players with massive capital tied up in real estate, Enterprise Life has maintained an agile, cash-ready balance sheet.
“We are not heavy in terms of buildings and all that; our assets are held in liquid form—in cash and cash equivalents,” Akerele emphasized. “We are an extremely liquid company.”
This cash-heavy asset strategy positions the insurer to promptly meet its obligations, match underwriting risks effectively, and settle policyholders’ claims without the delays often associated with liquidating physical property.
The announcement comes at a critical time when NAICOM continues to emphasize stricter solvency and liquidity management across the Nigerian insurance ecosystem to boost public confidence in the sector.

The initiatives are expected to enhance digital literacy, strengthen online safety awareness, and support efforts to create a more secure and inclusive digital ecosystem for Nigerian youths.
