Almond Insurance Industry Awards 2024 Holds Nov 1 in Lagos

The stage is now set for the 2024 Almond Insurance Industry Awards. The Annual Awards, which brings stakeholders in the various arms of the insurance industry, policy makers, insurance clients, entertainers, and the insuring public together will hold on Friday, November 1, 2024 at the Queens Park Events Centre, Water Corporation Drive/Trinity Avenue, off Ligali Ayorinde Street, Victoria Island, Lagos by 5pm (Red Carpet).

The 2024 Edition tagged #Reinvent Edition will honour individuals and organisations in eleven categories across the various arms of the Insurance Eco-System.

Also penciled to be honoured with the Special Recognition Awards this year are the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu and Mrs. Modupeola Dallass – Olusanya.

Speaking on preparations for the Awards so far, the Chief Executive Officer of Almond Productions Limited, Ms. Faith Ughwode said that this year, attendees will be glad they did as top-rated comedians like MC Ajele, Akproko, Kelvin Sapp and others are set to crack ribs with jokes.

Musical performances will be by Goya Menor and Terry G. The show host is Mr. Funny himself, Nedu Wazobia.

Speaking further, Ms. Ughwode said that for so long people view the insurance industry with a lot of suspicion and mistrust because insurance players are not pushing social platforms that creates fun for their existing and prospective customers.

That is what the Almond Insurance Industry Awards is all about-using Pop-Culture to change the narratives of insurance.

Nigeria’s current demography is made up of young population who should be the core customers of insurance companies. There must be a way to woo them to the insurance corner. What better way than to bring them together with their favorite stars physically or on social media through live streams.

Apart from the sterling performances from the artistes this year, the organisers have also drawn an array of dignitaries from across various sectors of the economy as Guest Presenters.

Notable amongst them are the Vice Chancellor, Ajayi Crowther University, Prof. Timothy Abiodun Adebayo; Jarju Bubacarr President of the West African Insurance Companies Association (WAICA); Jean Chiazor Anishere, SAN; Prince Austin Enajemo-Isire, Chairman, DavoDani Microfinance Bank; Mrs. Rollance McCoy President WimAfrica and a host of other dignitaries.

The shortlisted categories this year are: 

  • Insurance CEO of the Year
  • Insurance Woman of the Year (Insurer or Broker)
  • Life Insurance Company of the Year
  • General Insurance Company of the Year
  • Insurance Broker of the Year
  • Insurance Broking Company of the Year
  • Takaful Company of the Year
  • Micro Insurance Company of the Year
  • Most Valuable Insurance Customer of the Year
  • Insurance Life Achievers Award (Insurer or Broker)
  • Special Recognition Award 2024 (Within and Outside the Industry)

Non-payment of Salaries: Matters Arising

At first, it was a rumour. Then, the rumor became stronger. And then, the rumour became political allegation that the federal and state governments could no longer pay salaries because public funds were deployed by the two major political parties to prosecute the 2015 general elections. Today, the situation has become a national embarrassment that Nigeria cannot pay its civil servants-from federal government to state governments. While actual figures of the total indebtedness at the federal and state levels is difficult to ascertain, various media reports quoted N110 billion as the total sum due to the unfortunate government employees.
