Ogunshola said this during a dinner organised by the company to celebrate 30 years of Continental Re’s existence in Lagos on Wednesday.
“Anticipating the future, our vision for Continental Re remains to be the premier pan-African reinsurer. Ours is a permanent view of Africa, not just long or very long, but a permanent one,” he stated.
In order to realise its objectives, he said that Continental Re recognised that it must be highly adaptable to change to enable it take advantage of the immense opportunities that abound across the continent and beyond.
While expressing appreciation to all past and present clients in the business of insurance, the chairman said the company would continue to grow its partnership with stakeholders.
Ogunshola also thanked all those who had contributed in various ways to the success that the company was celebrating.
The Group Managing Director, Continental Re, Dr. Femi Oyetunji, said it was a great privilege to celebrate 30 years of successful business in Nigeria and Africa.
“For as long as I can remember, we have delivered profitable results year after year, and have consistently paid dividend to our shareholders increasingly from year to year,” Oyetunji said.
From its small office in Lagos in 1987, Oyetunji disclosed that the firm had grown to having offices in Douala, Nairobi, Abidjan, Tunis and Gaborone.
“We pride ourselves as the largest privately owned reinsurance company in Africa, but without the solid foundation laid by the pioneer staff and directors, we couldn’t have done it,” he said.
During the dinner, the company recognised the contributions of its former Chairman, Akin Laguda; and former Managing Director, Adeyemo Adejumo, as well as other directors and long serving employees.
