The Management of Anchor Insurance Company Limited has said that following its passionate concern to ensure the Nigerian culture does not die, it is sponsoring the National Festival of Arts and Culture otherwise christened NAFEST Edo 2019 being hosted by Edo State in October.
This is just as the company recently won two major awards in recognition of its sterling position and contribution to the nation’s insurance industry.
Ebose Augustine, managing director/ CEO of the underwriting company who disclosed this during a chat with some media hands in Lagos explained that “as a corporate citizen with high respect for social responsibility, we see it as an honour on us to support events of this sort which aim at restoring and keeping our culture as a people.”

According to him, “this support is one of our ways of giving back to the society as it is the society that has ensured our continued success through their patronage. It is, therefore, not out of place to give the support we could to ensure the success of the festival.”
He explained that “as a people, we are fast losing our culture to Western ways. Any race without a culture is a lost race. It is our passionate resolve at Anchor Insurance to be part of any programme that will help to promote and ensure the Nigerian diverse cultures do not go into extinction.”
In another development, the Company has been decorated with the “Customer Service Brand of the Year 2018” and “Fastest Growing Insurance Brand in Nigeria” awards.
