FBNInsurance has again won the coveted World Finance Global Insurance Award as the Best Life Insurance Company in Nigeria in 2017.
In a statement, the Head, Marketing and Corporate Communications, FBNInsurance, Elizabeth Agugoh, said the organisers acknowledged the influence of new technology and changing global economic outlook on insurance.
She stated that the organisers lauded the winners for their resilience in weathering the various challenges.
She said: “The World Finance Global Insurance awards aim to celebrate those that have stood out as clear industry leaders over the course of 2017 by remaining agile even in the face of rapid change.
“For us at FBNInsurance, we attribute the win to the company’s continuous commitment to providing responsive insurance to every Nigerian. In our seven years of operation, we have been able to carve a niche for ourselves by continuously engaging the consumer through our retail drive thereby gaining trust and traction in the market. We are happy to have won this award yet again; we will not rest on our oars even as we set our sights on more successes.
“The World Finance was established in 2007 and has celebrated achievement, innovation and brilliance in Business through their annual awards. It will be recalled that FBNInsurance won the Best Life Insurance Company in Nigeria at the 2014 and 2016 editions of the awards. The 2017 win is the third time the company will be so honoured with the global accolade.’’
Also, in line with Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability (CSR) initiatives, FBNInsurance and FBN General Insurance, have donated various items to two care homes – the Down Syndrome Foundation and Heritage Homes.
The companies donated various food items, toys and beverages to Heritage Homes, while they made a cash donation to the management of Down Syndrome Foundation.
Most of the items donated were raised through the companies’ yearly Staff Gift drive, an in-house scheme that encourages staff members of both companies to donate various items to a common cause.
At the presentation, the Chief Human Resources Officer, FBNInsurance, Mr. Emeka Dibia, conveyed the insurers’ goodwill to both organisations. He appreciated their efforts towards making the society better.
He charged them not to relent on the good they are doing and also restated the commitment of the FBNInsurance Group to the cause of both the orphanage and the Foundation.
