The statement also highlighted Lasaco Assurance’s commitment to upholding its corporate policy by fostering trust and maintaining relationships with its clients. The company has presented compensation letters ranging from N629,763 to N6.59m to the families of each deceased staff member of two organisations, totalling N3bn since 2017.
The company’s outstanding performance has been recognized by a global credit rating agency, which awarded the company an A rating. According to Abiodun, this rating is proof that Lasaco as a brand aims to provide long-term values to stakeholders.
In his words, “We are pleased to have a better rating in 2022 as opposed to the A- rating in 2021. We remain committed to being the insurance company of choice in Nigeria, providing products and services of superior quality.”
