Standard Alliance Life Assurance Limited said it is sponsoring a television programme anchored by Almond Finance and Wealth Report which is geared towards deepening insurance awareness.

The company’s Head of Corporate Communications, Nelson Egboboh, in a statement said the sponsorship of the programme which is aired on MITV and Silverbird Television, both on local and DSTV channels every Sunday and Thursday respectively shall cover the next thirteen weeks from the second week in June.

He said: “A situation where below two per cent of 160 million Nigerians subscribe to insurance is discouraging and unacceptable,” noting that “this is why programmes of this nature must be supported by insurance companies to help Nigerians come to grasp with the value of insurance in their lives and businesses.

 “We at Standard Alliance Life Assurance Ltd believe that Nigeria with such a huge population ought to be the biggest market for insurers in Africa if only the people are fully aware of what they stand to benefit from subscribing to any applicable form of insurance.”

Egboboh  noted that the desire of the company to ensure that no form of losses suffered stop Nigerians from still living their lives fully and the need to enlighten the public on the crucial role insurance  plays in the economic stability of any nation informed the organisation’s decision to throw its weight behind the insurance awareness deepening television programme.
