Guinea Insurance Plc says it has completed the statutory deposit requirement prescribed under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025 as part of its recapitalisation programme.

“Guinea Insurance is pleased to inform its esteemed shareholders and other stakeholders that it has fully complied with the statutory deposit requirement prescribed under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act 2025.
“In compliance with the provisions of the Act, the company has remitted the required statutory deposit to the CBN, bringing its total statutory deposit balance to N1.5 billion.”
