Speaking at the Leadership Summit organised by the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (South-South Area Committee), Omo said technology has disrupted a lot of things and urged practitioners to step up and embrace the new realities.

In line with the summit’s theme, “Collaboration: Adapting in an Ever-Changing World,” Omo emphasised the need for insurance companies to innovate, leverage technology, and embrace collaborative efforts to remain relevant.

In her keynote, Omo urged insurance practitioners to move beyond rigid, product-centric approaches and adopt dynamic tools that meet the evolving needs of today’s consumers. She spotlighted Enterprise Life’s Advantage Connect App, a game-changing platform that leverages GPS technology similar to Uber, allowing individuals to connect easily with life planners in their vicinity.

“Through the Advantage Connect App, we’ve found a way to make life insurance more accessible and personalized,” Omo explained. “It’s no longer just about policies but about meaningful connections. People want someone they can trust, and this app ensures that individuals are paired with a life planner who can meet them where they are.”

Omo emphasized that Nigeria’s economy is driven by an active, tech-savvy youth population that demands speed, accessibility, and convenience. To meet these expectations, Enterprise Life has launched a WhatsApp channel for resolving insurance-related queries in real-time, offering customers a faster and more direct way to access support. Additionally, the company has introduced a collaborative brokers’ platform aimed at streamlining processes for insurance brokers across the country.

Omo also addressed the introduction of the Brokers’ Portal, an innovative digital platform designed to make brokers’ operations more efficient. Through the portal, brokers can onboard themselves, generate proposals and quotes, access transaction records, and retrieve their NAICOM ID. She further announced that Enterprise Life is preparing to launch an API Gateway for seamless integration, enabling partners to connect directly with the company’s systems. This initiative will allow external partners to integrate their services with Enterprise Life’s platform easily, providing a smoother experience for both brokers and clients.
