He said the insurance Week will provide the various brands in the Nigerian insurance industry to put on display their various offerings and the value they can create for their customers in any part of the country.
“It is an opportunity to flaunt their brands in a very unique, competitive and cooperative manner while engendering the growth of the insurance industry in the country and possibly, beyond.”
