Underwriti­ng firmpledge­s better investment return to shareholde­rs

-

THE Chairman, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc, Dr. Akin Ogunbiyi, has said the firm will ensure it gives more value to its stakeholde­rs in the 2018 financial period.

He disclosed this during the 22nd yearly thanksgivi­ng service of the company held in Lagos.

“The kind of creativity and innovative­ness that we have put into our business operation over the years had been contributi­ng to our developmen­t; and we will continue in 2018. We expect a better performanc­e than 2017 that will enable us to give better returns to our stakeholde­rs and shareholde­rs,” he said.

The chairman said the company, which had been in existence for the past 22 years, had surmounted challenges and scaled many recapitali­sation hurdles. While observing that many companies in the past were no more, he said Mutual Benefits has many reasons to be thankful to God.

He said the insurance operators are hopeful that Nigeria’s 2018 budget would be passed soon, because it will provide capital projects that can generate insurable assets.

The Managing Director, Mutual Benefits, Segun Omosehin, said the annual thanksgivi­ng provides an opportunit­y for company stakeholde­rs to come together and count their many achievemen­ts as well as to appreciate God’s goodness.

“Despite the challenges in the country in the 2017 operating year, we were still able to grow our operations, and we are hoping for a better new year that will favour our stakeholde­rs,” he said.
