NSIA Supports Coronavirus Fight

by Radarr Africa

NSIA Insurance says it has joined the private sector and individuals in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

It noted that following the increasing spread and unfolding effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Nigeria, The Nigerian Insurers Association set up the NIA COVID-19 Support Fund to raise funds to combat the pandemic.

NSIA stated that the association which sought to contribute to legislation and decisions made by the government in the best interest of the economy had also volunteered to acquire test kits and protective gear to help mitigate the spread of the virus.

It noted that the NIA also announced a donation of N1m free life insurance cover to health workers and allied professionals catering to the needs of COVID-19 patients, which had been made possible through the collective contributions of insurance companies in Nigeria.

“As an organisation that cares, NSIA Insurance salutes this laudable gesture and has made a financial commitment in support of the decision of the Nigeria Insurers Association,” it stated.

The Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer, NSIA Insurance, Ebelechukwu Nwachukwu urged the general public to comply with local authorities and stay indoors while following the World Health Organisation’s guidelines for staying safe during this period.

“Our hearts go out to those families who have lost dear ones in the course of this pandemic and pray that they would have the strength to pull through the pain,” he said.

Nwachukwu added, “Our staff members are currently working remotely, which means that we are still very much available to do business.

“We have an array of life products that we encourage customers to take at this time. We also would want people to take householder insurance policies now since everyone is home and may need it for possible eventualities. Insurance at a time like this should be taken seriously.”
