NSIA Insurance said it has paid a total of N27billion claims to its policyholders in the past five years.

The company said this is part of its commitment to customers and stakeholders.

Addressing the media briefly after the company's 2023 Annual General Meeting held in Lagos, Chairman Nsia Insurance, Dr. Adesegun Akin-Olugbade, said the company paid N7.8 billion claims in 2023 alone and paid N19.2billion in the preceding four years, making a cumulative of N27 billion in five years.

He said NSIA Insurance would remain unflinching in its commitment to fulfil obligations to its customers as it is prominently known.

He added that the company's Gross Written Premium recorded 24 percent growth up from N18 billion in 2022 to stand at N22.3 billion in 2023.

"The insurance service result also grew by 18 percent to N19.8 billion from N16.8 billion in 2022. This growth permeated across the business lines with the non-life and life business achieving double-digit growth of 19 per cent and 17 per cent respectively, from N9.5 billion and N7.3 billion in 2022 to N11.3 billion and N8.6 billion in 2023," he stated.

Also speaking, the company's Managing Director/CEO, Mr. Moruf Apampa noted that the vast opportunities in the retail insurance segment remained untapped as the company steadily increased its footprint in the retail sector.
