A statement by the Head of Corporate Communications and Brand Management of

Executive Officer, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw and
a host of others.
He noted that the ‘Walk-the Talk’ campaign which literarily means ‘practice
what you preach’ is a change movement initiated to preach CVL’s leadership values
while reaching out to correct some social, economic and political challenges in
our society, stressing that the objective of the movement is to equip
generations of young Nigerians with values and leadership skills which will
make them become effective and value-driven leaders in future.
The event co-coordinator, Miss Stephanie Etokeren expressed her profound
gratitude to the Management of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc for its continued
commitment in identifying with laudable CSR initiatives in the Nigerian Society
over the years.
She further applauded the good work that Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc has
been doing and also implored other corporate organizations to emulate such
initiatives demonstrated by the Underwriting Firm in being a Socially
Responsible Corporate Entity.
According to her, “Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc has shown a great deal of
commitment to advancing the Nigerian Society and one cannot but, applaud the
good work of the company in every ramification.”
Managing Director/CEO of the underwriting firm, Wale Onaolapo, said the
company is committed to the development of the Nigerian Society in every
regard, and he equally opined that a great deal of work still need to be done
in getting to the desirable State that every Nigerian would be proud of.
He identified the company’s vision of being the leading brand as the
pivotal force responsible for most of the initiatives embarked upon by the
company.
“The organisation is proud to be associated with the Centre for Values in
Leadership and what it represents in the larger society and would not rest on
its oars in embarking on CSR initiatives that would further enhance and advance
the quality of the Human Capital resources in the country both at the local and
national level,” he said.
It will be
recalled that the organisation recently supported the’ Walk for Nature’
campaign organized by the Nigerian Conservation Foundation. Sovereign Trust
Insurance Plc will continue to support initiatives that will serve as catalyst
for change in Nigeria and beyond.
