Odu’a Investment Company Limited has commissioned a new corporate headquarters for its flagship insurance brokerage subsidiary, Glanvill Enthoven Insurance Brokers and Pensions Consultants Limited (Glanvills), in a move aimed at strengthening the company’s operations and enhancing service delivery.
The facility, known as New Glanvills House, is located at 64, Ikorodu Road, Fadeyi, Lagos, and was officially commissioned on Friday, May 29, 2026, by the Group Chairman of Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Bimbo Ashiru.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ashiru described the new edifice as a symbol of growth, resilience, and the commitment to excellence that has defined Glanvills over the years.
According to him, the commissioning goes beyond the opening of a new office building, representing the collective determination of Odu’a Investment and its subsidiaries to expand, modernise, and deliver superior value to clients and stakeholders.
He noted that Glanvills remains a key subsidiary within the Odu’a Investment Group and commended its board, management, and staff for their dedication and professionalism in building a trusted brand in the insurance and pensions sector.
Ashiru charged the company to leverage the new facility as a platform for innovation, stronger client relationships, and improved service delivery, stressing that Odu’a’s vision is to reposition all its subsidiaries for greater competitiveness and operational excellence.
The Group Managing Director of Odu’a Investment Company Limited, Abdulrahman Yinusa, described the project as a strategic investment aimed at strengthening the operational base of one of the group’s major growth drivers.
Yinusa said the new headquarters would enhance client engagement, improve operational efficiency, boost brand visibility, and create a more conducive environment for staff productivity.
“This building is not merely an upgrade in address; it is a strategic asset that will support business growth, improve customer experience, and reinforce Glanvills’ position in the insurance and pensions industry,” he said.
He further highlighted the company’s nationwide presence, with operations spanning Abuja, Port Harcourt, Jos, Ibadan, and Kano, noting that the Lagos headquarters would serve as a fitting hub for its expanding network.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Glanvill Enthoven Group, Olasupo Falana, traced the company’s history from its origins in London to its establishment in Nigeria in 1957 and eventual transformation into one of the country’s foremost indigenous insurance brokerage firms.
Falana described the new headquarters as “a landmark of vision and excellence,” symbolising the company’s evolution, resilience, and readiness to compete in a rapidly changing business environment.
He paid tribute to the pioneers and stakeholders who contributed to the growth of the organisation, including renowned nationalist and businessman Theophilus Adebayo Doherty, whose efforts helped bring Glanvill Enthoven to Nigeria.
The Glanvills CEO emphasised that the company’s longevity has been built on core values of professionalism, transparency, integrity, efficiency, and teamwork.
He said the new facility would serve as a centre for innovation, collaboration, and operational excellence while positioning the company to better meet the evolving needs of clients in the insurance and financial services sectors.
Falana also expressed appreciation to the company’s clients, partners, regulators, board members, shareholders, and staff for their continued support, describing the commissioning as the beginning of a new chapter in the company’s journey.
The event attracted directors of Odu’a Investment Company, members of the Glanvills Board, business partners, clients, regulators, and other stakeholders who gathered to witness the unveiling of the new headquarters.
The commissioning marks another milestone in Odu’a Investment’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its subsidiaries and deepen its footprint across key sectors of the Nigerian economy.
