Braie said Linkage Assurance paid N1.65 billion in claims in 2019; N1.36 billion in 2020 and N5.0 billion in 2021, noting that “year 2022 figures will also reassure you we are committed to our promise, he said.

Edu, represented by Tunde Oguntade, deputy president of the NCRIB, said the council is graciously yielding this programme to Linkage Assurance again, because of the company’s dynamic strides through its sound underwriting excellence.

“I can assure Linkage Assurance that you have opted for the right time to address Brokers. It is my hope that your Company would extract significant value for this laudable investment in its relationship with our Council.”

Mr. Ekerete Ola Gam-Ikon said key actors in the insurance industry including operators, regulators and other service providers must restructure, reorganise and reconnect themselves to deliver customer experience.
