Insurance
"Strong legacy since 1970, driven by trusted relationships"
Headway Assurance Company Limited was established in 1970 under the leadership of Sir (Dr.) Hassan O. Odukale, KJW, D. Sc., FC IIN. Initially operating as a direct motor insurance provider, the company evolved by cultivating strong ties within Nigeria’s broker network, which now accounts for 80% of its current business.
At the heart of Headway’s operations is an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, driving its steady expansion in delivering integrated insurance and financial solutions to a broad clientele.
Headway’s sustained success stems from its adherence to professional excellence and robust business practices, underpinned by the unyielding integrity of its leadership. This core value was instilled by its late founder, Sir (Dr.) Hassan O. Odukale, KJW, D. Sc., FC IIN (1926–1999), a visionary businessman and former Managing Director and Chairman of the Board. His dedication to ethical service and customer-focused policies continues to guide the company’s strategic direction.
A privately held enterprise, Headway Assurance Company Limited has 42 shareholders, including 14 corporate investors and 2 trust corporations.
