For many, retirement is seen as the end of a career. But for Stanbic IBTC Insurance Limited, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, it is a new beginning, one filled with purpose, wellness, and joy.
This belief came alive at the 2025 edition of its annual Annuitants Forum, themed “Making the Most of Life in Retirement.”
Held virtually, the gathering brought together retirees from across Nigeria into one shared space of reflection, guidance, and encouragement. It wasn’t just a meeting—it was a moment to reimagine what life after work can truly mean.
From the onset, the atmosphere was rich with optimism. Annuitants logged in not only to listen but also to share, ask questions, and learn how to navigate this season with confidence. The conversations stretched beyond finances, touching on lifestyle, health, relationships, and legacy.
Akinjide Orimolade, chief executive of Stanbic IBTC Insurance, set the tone with a heartfelt message:
“Our mission is to help our annuitants make the most of this chapter, not just financially but in every aspect of their lives. Through forums like this, we reaffirm our role as partners in their well-being.”
Panel discussions addressed real-life issues close to retirees’ hearts—maintaining financial stability in a volatile economy, embracing wellness habits, preparing Wills, and building solid estate plans. More importantly, participants were encouraged to view retirement not as withdrawal, but as reinvention—a stage where passions can be rediscovered and new opportunities embraced.
What made the forum stand out was its two-way engagement. Attendees didn’t just listen, they shared personal stories, exchanged tips, and voiced their concerns about annuity products and retirement planning.
This interactive approach reinforced Stanbic IBTC Insurance’s commitment to listening and evolving with its clients.
For the company, the Annuitants Forum is more than an event; it’s a promise. A promise that retirees will not walk this journey alone, and that their voices, needs, and aspirations will continue to shape the services they receive.
As the 2025 edition closed, one thing became clear: Stanbic IBTC Insurance is not just in the business of providing annuities it is in the business of nurturing life after work. With every forum, the company strengthens its role as a trusted partner, helping retirees find fulfilment, security, and joy in their golden years.
