Mrs. Cecilia O. Osipitan

Managing Director/CEO

Great Nigeria Insurance Plc

Great Nigeria Insurance Plc has implemented the company’s business continuity strategy as the whole world grapple with the exponential rise in the number of COVID-19 infected individuals. The company’s business continuity strategy is hinged on safeguarding the health, wellbeing and safety of the lives of its esteemed customers and workforce while ensuring the continuity of operations during the lockdown period.

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mr. Muhammadu Buhari had in his special address on Sunday March 29, 2020, directed the cessation of movements in Lagos, Abuja and Ogun states. The 14 days lockdown is to serve as a measure to disrupt the widespread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This implied that all offices (excluding those that provide essential services) must shut down on Monday, March 30, 2020.

While commenting, the Managing Director/CEO of Great Nigeria Insurance Plc, Mrs. Cecilia O. Osipitan said “In a bid to stay true to our commitment of delivering quality service to our valued customers, alternative service channels have been made available for seamless access to all insurance products and services available under the stable of GNI Plc. On your mobile please explore our USSD Platform by dialing *5076# for self-service, easy premium remittance, policy renewal and prompt claims settlement”.

We plead with you to join us in the cause to flatten the curve of the widespread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We implore you to please stay safe during this period while ensuring to observe all the precautionary measures advised by the government and relevant health authorities.

Banks, Telcos Disagreement Hindering Mobile Money Services

The inability of banks and telecom operators to agree on modalities for mobile money operations is hindering the potential of such transactions in Nigeria, compared to the acclaimed success of M-pesa in Kenya. Mobile money transactions need legislations and approvals from both the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) which regulates the banking sector and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) that oversees telecom services in the country. Giving an insight into the success of M-Pesa in Kenya at the Commonwealth Broadband Forum 2015 in Abuja, Mr. Joseph Tiampati Musuni, Principal Secretary, Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology, Kenya, said their country experienced a similar Banks-Telcos disagreement at the outset of mobile money services in Kenya. But he added that the government was able to facilitate an amicable and working arrangement between them to pave way for roll-out of the service.
