He said the company recognised that its station attendants serve as the primary touchpoints with customers, and that their welfare could directly impact on the quality of engagement and service delivery in a market where service excellence has become a key differentiator.    

“We have developed a comprehensive package known as the ‘Attendant Framework’, which focuses on enhancing their overall welfare. As part of this initiative, we are pleased to announce the rollout of HMO coverage effective this month,” he stated. 

Also speaking at the event, the Deputy Director, Information Technology, Ademola Adebusuyi, stated that the company was in partnership with trusted healthcare providers to ensure that beneficiaries receive the best medical care and attention.

He explained that the scheme provides access to an extensive network of hospitals nationwide where attendants can receive quality healthcare services.
