The initiative was unveiled on January 14, 2026, and aims to strengthen financial knowledge and management among market operators.
Tunde Mimiko, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of SanlamAllianz Nigeria, said the campaign will roll out in two phases.
The first phase includes physical activations in organised market associations on Lagos Mainland and Lagos Island, while the second involves a radio programme debuting on two high listenership stations this month.
“Ours is not your everyday insurance company. We pride ourselves as a protection organisation with solutions that empower generations to be financially prosperous, secure, and confident,” Mimiko said.
“No one can aspire to financial confidence without understanding budgeting, investing, retirement planning, income protection, and the role of insurance. We are bringing these essential insights to the markets.”
Chris Ekwonwa, Group Head of Strategy, Marketing and Corporate Communications, explained that Lagos serves as the pilot location for the campaign, with plans to expand nationwide in the new year.
“We recognise that Lagos is not Nigeria. We aim to take this initiative to major markets across the country, building on the bold roadshow we undertook during our rebrand,” Ekwonwa said.
