Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has advocated for taking insurance to the grassroots for the benefit of the people.
Akeredolu said this on Wednesday at the 47th Annual Conference and General Assembly of the African Insurance Organisation held at the Landmark Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The Governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, noted that no one can avoid risk in the day-to-day activities, just as he emphasised the need for all to embrace insurance policies.
The statement reads, “Governor Akeredolu urged Nigerians to appreciate the value of insurance, adding that a policy like the National Health Insurance Scheme makes health delivery services affordable and accessible.
“He said his administration in the Sunshine state has also introduced the Contributory Health Insurance Scheme to make health services affordable to the people.
“The Governor congratulated the AIO on its 47th Annual Conference, saying the organisation has made Nigeria and Africa proud.
“Arakurin Akeredolu rejoiced with the new President of the organization, Mr. Tope Smart, who hails from Ondo state.”
