With its excellent A rating stands to guarantee that role of insurers will be fulfilled in African markets. Yet, we have witnessed fire outbreaks putting an end to the dreams of uninsured traders. We have also witnessed many children unable to complete their education following the death of their uninsured breadwinner. Another example to cite is the number of fights between drivers in events of vehicle accidents. All these could have been avoided if the individuals were aware of the benefits of insurance. The extremely low insurance penetration rate of 0.3% is not healthy for the growth of the Nigerian and African economy
This campaign aims at developing an integrated behavioural change to enhance the effort made by the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and the Nigerian Insurance Association to develop a clear knowledge, experience and perception gaps in the Nigerian insurance market. The campaign is set to achieve the following:
• Correct the negative and prevalent perceptions plaguing the industry;
• Drive penetration and density as well as grow insurance culture across the country;
• Enlighten the public on credible insurance partners i.e. how to get and enjoy the benefits of insurance in Nigeria.
The ultimate aim is to deepen the knowledge about insurance and the advantages therein.
The campaign will be a multi-media one.
