Commissioner Omosehin to discuss insurance-aviation synergy at 5th Chinet

Olusegun Omosehin, the Commissioner for Insurance, will headline the Insurance Session at the 5th Chinet Aviacargo Conference, scheduled to take place on September 16th, 2025, at the prestigious Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos.

This year’s conference, themed “How e-Commerce is Shaping the Future of Logistics in Africa,” will bring together top stakeholders across aviation, insurance, logistics, and trade. The Commissioner will speak on the topic: “Emerging Synergy Between Insurance and Aviation,” a session designed to spotlight how insurance can drive growth, resilience, and sustainability within Nigeria’s aviation and cargo ecosystem.

The Insurance Session, which has been a consistent highlight since the inception of Chinet, will also feature other top industry leaders, including Babajide Olatunde-Agbeja, Chairman of Boff & Company Insurance Brokers Ltd, who will serve as session moderator, and Bimbo Onakomaiya, MD of Peakthrust Insurance Brokers Ltd and President of the Professional Insurance Ladies Association (PILA) and Kunle Ahmed, Chairman of the Nigerian Insurance Association.

Highlighting the importance of the session, the organisers noted that aviation and insurance are intricately linked sectors: while aviation relies on insurance to mitigate risks and ensure smooth operations, the insurance industry in turn benefits from aviation’s growth to expand its portfolio and impact on the economy.

Stronger collaboration between these two sectors will not only enhance safety and trust but also deepen Nigeria’s ability to compete in global aviation and cargo markets.

The Chinet Aviacargo Conference has established itself as the premier gathering for Nigeria’s air cargo and logistics industry. Over the years, it has attracted government agencies, airline operators, cargo companies, logistics firms, insurance executives, hotel groups, and foreign diplomats, all working together to unlock opportunities within the sector.

The 5th edition will run alongside the 21st Akwaaba African Travel Market, West Africa’s largest travel and tourism expo, which will host over 3,000 participants and the highest collection of airlines at any travel exhibition in Africa.

This joint hosting will create unmatched networking opportunities across aviation, cargo, travel, and tourism industries.

The event will feature exhibitions, country days, B2B sessions, thematic conferences, awards, and cultural showcases, all spread across three impactful days from 14th – 16th September 2025. Stakeholders can look forward to the Jollof Rice War, Top 100 Hotel Awards, Women in Tourism Conference, Insurance Conference, Cargo & Export Conference, Africa Travel 100 Awards, Youth Tourism Conference, and more.

The Commissioner’s participation signals a renewed commitment to creating an enabling environment for airlines, cargo operators, and insurers to work hand in hand in driving growth, fostering innovation, and ensuring sustainability within Nigeria’s aviation and logistics ecosystem.
