NIGER Insurance Plc  says  it is deploying electronic platforms and facilities to all its regional offices and branches across the nation.

The company’s Managing Director, Justus Uranta, who disclosed this during a chat with journalists in Lagos, stated that the provisions of the electronic platforms are to accelerate quick and reliable service delivery to its customers.

Uranta said that the company’s operations are guided by necessary business ethics, even as it is engaging in continuous research and development to improve on service delivery.

“In view of the fact that the organisation already ranks among the top three in the nation’s insurance industry, strategies are also being put in place to ensure that the company become the market leader within a short period of time.”

According to Uranta, Niger Insurance is still in tune with its human capital development by way of sending key staff to both local and international training fora.

Speaking on the members of the company’s staff who graduated from the West African Insurance Institute (WAII) in Banjul, The Gambia recently, the Niger Insurance boss assured that the organisation will continue to send its employees to the institute in order to keep enriching their knowledge.

Uranta, while confirming that more than 50 employees have been trained at WAII in the last few years, added that the company’s management has resolved to ensure that some of its employees continue to attend the institute on an annual basis.

While referring to eight employees of Niger Insurance who graduated from the institute in July, he pointed out that the company prioritises human capital development because it appreciates the fact that its human capital is its most valuable assets.

Human capital, he noted requires constant training and retaining to be at their best and be able to make meaningful contribution to the growth of the underwriting firm.

In order to remain a profitable organisation delivering exceptional value to its stakeholders, he said the company is constantly looking at its products, operations and meeting the needs of its customers.
