“”I recalled while I was in the private sector where I worked as the Managing Director in a sugar factory, the company was razed by fire. But the insurance came to the rescue to build a better company for us,” he said.

Sule also promised to work with the State Executive Council to ensure that it complies with compulsory insurance across all sectors of the economy.

Thomas said that the commission was in the state for a sensitization campaign on the importance of insurance to lives, properties, and the economy.

“We are here to further campaign on the benefits of insurance for our buildings, vehicles, life and other important areas to mitigate risks associated with human existence,” he said.
