NEM Insurance Plc says it recorded strong revenue growth, earning N75.41 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The figure represents an increase from N45.47 billion recorded in the same period of 2024.
The company disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Lagos.
NEM Insurance Profit Before Tax (PBT) as at half year was N17.94 billion, compared to N12.21 billion in the prior year and Profit after tax for the period was N15.48 billion, compared to N10.63billion in the prior year.

Its liabilities increased to N83.97 billion, while shareholders’ equity rose to N75.93 billion.
The firm’s capital base, which exceeds the Minimum Capital Requirement under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act 2025, positions it well for recapitalisation.
NEM Insurance’s Managing Director, Mr Andrew Ikekhua, was named among BusinessDay’s Top 25 Chief Executive Officers in Nigeria for 2025.
The organisers described Ikekhua as a visionary leader focused on innovation, digital transformation and corporate governance.
In his remarks, Ikekhua dedicated the award to the company’s employees, attributing the firm’s success to teamwork and divine grace.
Global Credit Rating, an affiliate of Moody’s Corporation, reaffirmed NEM Insurance’s “AA+ (NG)” rating with a Stable Outlook.
The agency cited strong capital adequacy, prudent risk management and consistent earnings as key factors.
By the end of 2024, the company’s total assets had exceeded N150 billion, while shareholders’ fund was over N75 billion.
NEM also fulfilled N24 billion in claims obligations and paid dividends exceeding N5 billion to shareholders.
With sustained growth, sound governance and financial resilience, NEM Insurance remains among Nigeria’s top-tier insurance firms, strengthening the nation’s insurance sector. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
