The story
Custodian Investment Plc began in 1991 as a Nigerian general insurer (originally Accident and General Insurance Company Limited) and has since evolved into a listed diversified financial services holding company on the Nigerian Exchange. It now spans general insurance, life assurance, pension fund administration, trusteeship, securities dealing and real estate (UPDC), positioning itself as a domestic financial conglomerate rather than a fintech / embedded finance operator.
