Ayebae said, amidst all the challenges, the company performed excellently in 2022 as shown in its financial statement.

In his remark, the company’s Group Managing Director, Mr Tope Smart, said a review of the insurers operation showed that the company recorded an impressive performance in 2022.

Smart stated that all the underwriting company’s performance indices improved compared with the year 2021 results.

He noted that in spite of the global and local challenges which affected economic activities, the firm was able to post good results due to its resilience and strategies formulated and implemented by its board and management.

“Notwithstanding the challenging operating environment, we achieved the above results due to our determination and the robust strategies put in place.

“These results would not have been achieved but for the massive support and loyalty of our clients and brokers who have been there for us over the years. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

“I am particularly proud of our staff who have remained very focused, dogged and unwavering despite the difficult operating environment.

“To our ever-supportive shareholders, we appreciate you for your love and uncommon support over the years,” he added.
