Driven by the intensity to propagate the culture of insurance in every home, Staco Insurance Plc has pledge an absolute commitment to insurance awareness campaign in Nigeria.
This indication was made known when the company opened its door to students of Insurance and Actuarial Science, of Lagos State University, Ojo and Federal Polytechnic, Offa when they came on industrial tour to the head office of Staco in Ebute Metta recently.

Addressing the group of students on behalf of the Managing Director, Mr. Adegboye Adetayo who is the company’s Assistant General Manager in charge of General Accident and Oil and Gas insurance said as part of Staco’s long range corporate social responsibility strategies to students, the company will continue to galvanize the interest of the students towards insurance profession by supporting regular insurance workshops and seminars for students right from secondary schools to tertiary institutions.

Mr. Adetayo while facilitating a workshop session with the group of students that came for the industrial tour gave life to the insurance theories that they are studying in school. They were taken through the operations of insurance since they already have the theoretical knowledge of the profession. The students were later taken round the company in order to put them through on the workings of insurance. They went through all the departments where all the head of departments took turn to educate them on the activities of their department. They were also given the opportunity to ask questions in other to clarify all their previous perception on the profession of insurance, which were attended to adequately.

The campaign which commenced last year was coined out by the company to encourage and enlighten students in secondary and higher institutions on the discipline and profession of insurance. According to Staco’s management, this campaign is important because, the earlier insurance practice is inculcated in the growing minds, the better it would reinforces insurance belief in individuals and the society at large.

Recall that when the campaign commenced last year, the MD/CEO of Staco Insurance Plc, Mr. Sakiru Oyefeso particularly charged the students to develop their vision and grow their passion.
