Liberia Seeks Nigeria’s Technical Support After N720bn Insurance Recapitalisation
The Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) has sought technical support from Nigeria’s National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) to strengthen its insurance regulatory framework.
The request was made during a strategic working visit to NAICOM by a CBL delegation led by Mr Mulbah Francis Bowah.
According to NAICOM, Liberia is seeking guidance on risk-based capital requirements, regulatory transition, risk assessment and mitigation frameworks, as well as insurance supervision and examination methodologies.
Bowah said Nigeria is a "big brother" and strategic partner, and that NAICOM's experience would support Liberia's ongoing reforms towards a more robust insurance sector.
Receiving the delegation, Deputy Commissioner for Finance and Administration, Mr Ekerete Ola Gam-Ikon, who represented the Commissioner for Insurance, reaffirmed NAICOM's commitment to regional partnership and knowledge sharing among African regulators.
The engagement comes after Nigeria completed its insurance recapitalisation exercise under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025. The 12-month exercise, which ran from August 2025 to July 2026, saw 50 insurance and reinsurance firms raise about N720 billion to meet new minimum capital thresholds.
