In recognition of the immense contributions of the organisation to the development of retail and affordable insurance products to the insuring public, the organisers of the annual Lecture/Award through its Award Committee nominated Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc as one of the possible recipients of the award and at the end of it all, the company emerged the winner of the Award for year 2018.

The event was gracefully attended by Captains of Industries, Brand Management and Marketing Practitioners, the Media and members of the Public.

The event was chaired by the Chairman of the Nigerian Insurers Association, Mr. Tope Smart and also Group Managing Director/CEO of NEM Insurance Plc.

The criteria for the Award as given by the Technical/Award Committee included, efficiency in service delivery, creativity in product development, branch network, the use of technology, media presence of the Brand, adherence to Ethics and Corporate Governance and the quality of Human Resources available to the organisation within the period of the nomination and the screening process.

According to Prince Cookey, Publisher/CEO of Business Journal, the screening process for the companies nominated for the award was carried out by a group of seasoned Brand Management and Marketing Consultants and some notable members of the Public. “

It was a very rigourous process in determining the eventual Winner for the award but at the end of the day, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc was adjudged by all as the Winner for the award category in question.”

Cookey further reiterated that insurance companies still need to do a lot of work in terms of product development that will impact positively on the lives of the average Nigerian as insurance in the country is still viewed by many as a service for only the rich.

In his words: “We will continue to provide top-of-the-range insurance products and services that will delight our customers anytime they come in contact with our Brand”.  We are open to new ideas from members of the public in as much as those ideas will add value to what we do as an organization.

He also used the occasion to enjoin the gathering to embrace insurance if they have not yet been exposed to one form of insurance or the other. In his parting words, “insurance is a sure guarantee for the continued existence of any commercial enterprise and a sure mainstay for the continuous wellbeing of any individual or Family.”
