SUNU Assurances wins top share price appreciation award

SUNU Assurances Nigeria Plc has been recognised with the Highest Share Price Appreciation Award under the Market Excellence Category at the just-concluded 2025 PEARL Awards.

The prestigious award was presented at the recently concluded PEARL Awards Night, held at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The PEARL Awards honour outstanding companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange and employ a rigorous, data-driven approach in evaluating listed firms.

The Market Excellence Award, which SUNU Assurances secured, is based on clearly measurable parameters, including share price performance, financial growth, corporate governance, and value creation for shareholders.

With this achievement, SUNU Assurances Nigeria Plc said that its position as a forward-thinking insurer dedicated to value, protection, and performance in Nigeria’s evolving financial ecosystem has been reaffirmed.

Speaking after receiving the award, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of SUNU Assurances Nigeria Plc, Dr Samuel Ogbodu, expressed gratitude to the organisers and reaffirmed the company’s vision.

He said, “This recognition reflects the hard work of our people, the trust our customers place in us every day, and the confidence of our shareholders. We appreciate this recognition, and we remain committed to delivering solutions that truly support the lives and businesses of those who depend on us.”

Ogbodu maintained that, “The 2026 edition of the Nigerian Stock Market Annual was also unveiled at the ceremony.

It highlights the objective analysis, data metrics, and selection methodology behind the awards. We are excited that SUNU Assurances will be featured in a special two-page spread in the publication, celebrating its achievements, service offerings, and growth trajectory.”

Over the last year, the company’s stock has demonstrated an upward trajectory, reflecting sound corporate governance, renewed market trust, and robust financial strategies that have strengthened its competitive position in the Nigerian insurance industry.

SUNU Assurances is part of the SUNU Group, a major pan-African financial services company operating across 17 countries on the continent.
