Heirs Life Assurance has appointed Pastor Jerry Eze as an Independent Non-Executive Director, effective August 10, 2026. The appointment, overseen by Chairman Tony Elumelu, seeks to increase insurance penetration in Nigeria, where adoption rates remain below one percent.

Eze, the founder of Streams of Joy International Ministry and the NSPPD digital prayer platform, brings experience in development communications from work with the World Bank and the United Nations Population Fund. The company intends to leverage his community influence to bolster consumer trust and deepen financial inclusion in an industry often met with skepticism regarding claims and payouts.
