Turaco, Africa’s foremost insurtech, named Toba Obaniyi Nigerian General Manager. 

Business expansion and strategic collaborations are his responsibilities. His strategic partnerships will boost Turaco’s embedded insurance solutions. Toba Obaniyi’s presence is exciting as Nigeria’s insurtech grows.

Toba has been selling business tech for over 10 years. A significant cloud solutions company in Nigeria, WhoGoHost, is his creation. CEO Toba built West Africa’s largest web-hosting company from a one-person operation.

“We are thrilled to welcome Toba Obaniyi to Turaco,” said CEO and co-founder Ted Pantone. Nigeria is ideal for Turaco’s B2B2C, tech-enabled business because 80% of the population is uninsured, and fintech is widespread. Customers and distribution partners required insurtech solutions in our first year in Nigeria. Toba’s leadership and regional understanding will help us meet demand through strategic distribution partnerships and Nigerian sales development, saving more lives.”

We’ll disrupt the insurance business and give millions of families this risk-mitigating tool with our Nigerian team and partners using innovation and customer-centricity.

Turaco insures 1.5 million Africans and connects underwriters and customers. The group partners with leading IT businesses like Paga, Payforce, MAX, and M-KOPA, with many customers or workers in emerging markets to target underserved clientele and low-income earners. Turaco integrates its white-labeled service with a partner’s core product or service and uses their payment mechanism.

The powerful API connection Turaco allows companies to work with third parties without issues. It makes adding insurance to their products and services simple, safe, and cheap. Turaco offers affordable items for $1 a month, easy-to-understand terms and conditions, a digital claims process via WhatsApp or phone call, and three-day mobile money reimbursements.

In 2019, Mr. Obaniyi, interested in digital solutions, was named Vice President of the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA) Executive Board and acting chair of the Nigeria Internet Governance Forum Multistakeholder Advisory Group. Toba is an excellent addition to Nigeria’s digital ecosystem because he works to ensure that poor areas can connect to the internet.
