Insurance Plc, on the need for insurance provision and good health of members in the country.
This was disclosed at the AGN Health and Wellness Week 2023 tagged, ‘Walk for Life,’ aimed at sensitising members on the importance of insurance and good health held in Lagos, Abuja, Asaba, and Enugu State.
Speaking at the Lagos event, President, AGN, Ejezie Emeka Rollas, said that the importance of health maintenance cannot be overemphasised, there is nothing more important than health for any human being.
However, this fact made us introduce a special retail Health Management Scheme, HMO with MEDICARD Ltd, in the year 2020. We have so far enrolled some indigent members in the scheme.
He noted that we partnered with Universal Insurance to provide group on-set cover for members in case of health emergencies and other juicy welfare packages have been put in place for members, but the apathy and lackadaisical attitude towards welfare packages, including their health issues, are very discouraging.”
Universal Insurance was ably represented by its Executive Director, Technical Operations, Paulinus Offorzor, in 2018, the insurer signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to provide a group personal accident policy for members of the Guild.
The Group Personal Accident Policy is designed to provide some level of benefits to Nollywood practitioners to cover death, permanent disability, and medical expenses in the event of a loss occurring.
The AGN has about 150, 000 members spread across the country in its register and provides a good market for better insurance penetration.
In another development, Universal Insurance Plc has been named as the co-sponsor and sole insurer for the 2023 Enugu International Trade Fair.
