Nigeria’s Epicure Insurance Brokers Limited has joined ETG Insurance Risk Solutions Network (EIRS) as an exclusive Nigerian member.

This move marks a major step in EIRS’s expansion and international alliance across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

“ETG Insurance Risk Solutions Network (EIRS) proudly welcomes Epicure Insurance Brokers Limited Brokers of Lagos as its exclusive Nigerian member, marking a major step in expanding its international alliance across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe,” the group said in a statement.

Founded in 2016, Epicure has earned a strong reputation for providing tailored risk transfer solutions to corporate clients, with expertise in commercial and reinsurance broking. Their client-centric approach and deep market knowledge align perfectly with EIRS’s global vision.

Led by Oyinpreye Aigbogun, chief executive officer (CEO), Epicure is a leader in Nigeria’s insurance sector and a governing board member of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB).

Aigbogun said joining EIRS strengthens Nigerian corporates’ access to specialist insurance markets and Lloyd’s connections.

Aigbogun noted, “EIRS sought true partners, not just presence, but aligning perfectly with our values and mission.”

Looking ahead, Epicure’s membership is a first in Nigeria.

A selective, value-driven network unlike broad-based networks, EIRS carefully selects members based on expertise, maturity, and a shared commitment to serving corporate clients.

With 60 years of African market experience and seasoned specialty experts, EIRS is building a powerful support system for complex risk challenges.

The organisation plans to on-board nine more members by the end of 2025. It is already operating in 11 countries, with two new niche partners to be announced soon.

“EIRS is however inviting independent brokers committed to excellence and collaboration to explore membership opportunities. Together, we aim to transform the insurance landscape across Africa and beyond,” the network said.
