The transaction, which has now received all necessary regulatory approvals, strengthens Leadway’s position as one of the country’s most influential financial services groups.
According to the company, the acquisition aligns with its long-term strategy to deepen its footprint in the pension industry, enhance customer value, and deliver more integrated financial solutions. With this development, PAL Pensions will now operate as a fully owned subsidiary within the Leadway Group structure.
What the Acquisition Means for Customers

Leadway’s move positions the group to offer more robust retirement solutions, combining its insurance expertise with PAL Pensions’ long-standing reputation as a reliable pension administrator.
Next Steps
PAL Pensions is expected to undergo gradual brand integration into the Leadway identity, although the company has assured clients that the transition will be seamless and customer-centric.
The full acquisition underscores Leadway’s commitment to growth, innovation, and the long-term stability of Nigeria’s pension ecosystem.
