The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of African Alliance Insurance PLC, Mrs. Joyce Ojemudia, has been honoured by the United Nations Positive Livelihood and Awards Centre (UN POLAC Foundation) as a Distinguished Woman of Peace and Honour with the conferment of its prestigious Queen Amina Heroine Award. The Distinguished Woman of Peace and Honour Awards (DWOPHA) generally honours the inspiring work of women whose encouragement, leadership, and commitment to peace stand out as beacons of strength and hope while the Queen Amina Heroine category celebrates women who have exhibited uncommon bravery and strength in the face of adversity to achieve success.
Mrs. Joyce Ojemudia is an accomplished insurance professional and astute manager of resources with over twenty years of experience in insurance sales, business development, risk management, claims administration, and reinsurance. She is an alumnus of the prestigious Lagos Business School (SMP 40) and the University of Lagos where she had her first and second degrees in Insurance and Risk Management respectively. Indeed in 2021, she was recognized by Business Day Media as one of 30 Notable Alumni of the prestigious Lagos Business School. She is also a Fellow of the National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria, and an Associate of both the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria and the Institute of Chartered Economists of Nigeria.
In 2020, she was elected the President of the Professional Insurance Ladies Association (PILA), the elite body of professional women in insurance.

As head honcho at the legacy insurer, Ojemudia had instituted a virile cost-saving strategy that is driving a top to bottom change within the organization while aggressively growing her market share by making viable and humane life insurance accessible to more Nigerians. Recall that last year, her shrewd management style enabled African Alliance Insurance PLC to clear years-old legacy indebtedness to the Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD); a move that industry watchers consider ‘bold and groundbreaking’ in all ramifications.
