Almond Chief Executive Officer, Faith Ughwode, at a press briefing in Lagos to announce the commencement of this year’s edition of the awards  noted that while  insurance awareness and penetration was still low, insurance practitioners were making steady gains by way of gross premium income which has hit one trillion Naira as at the end of 2023.

She said the  2024 edition tagged “Reinvent Edition”,would once again bring together policy makers, insurance practitioners, top rated entertainers in music and comedy, para- military and the insuring public in an atmosphere of fun and relaxation.

She said the 2024 Awards would  hold on Friday November 1st 2024 at the Queens Park Events Center Water Corporation Drive/Trinity Avenue off Ligali Ayorinde Street Victoria Island Lagos.

“Given the overwhelming support and participation form all arms of the industry last year, the 2024 Awards categories have  been streamlined to meet  international standards. Some categories have been dropped and others introduced to engender inclusivity”, explained the Almond boss.
