Our clients will have the ” ensurance” that in the event of an accident, death, loss of property, business interruption, product recall, property damage and all other risks and hazards which we accept to carry on their behalf, we shall make certain (ENSURE) that their claims will be paid and restored in a responsive and selfless manner. ”
The new brand, it added, is infused with a talented team of insurance practitioners and experienced process personnel drawn from the Nigeria labor market and global firms such as Toyota, Mckinsey, and Swiss-Re.
“As a first step in the innovative quest to be different, we are the first company to secure regulatory approval for a Motor product that can settle your motor accident claims within 24 hours!!
