Following its recent announcement giving premium refunds to customers with active motor vehicle policies during the lockdown period, Wapic Insurance Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading underwriters, has gone further to offer health workers across Nigeria a 15 per cent discount on new policies taken up in 2020 to help cushion financial hardships associated with the​ COVID-19 pandemic.

The rebate to health workers covers Personal Accident, Householder Insurance and Motor Insurance and is for the tenor of the policies; in line with regulations, discounts do not apply at renewal.

According to the Managing Director, Mrs Adeyinka Adekoya, “This corporate gesture is in appreciation of the noble effort of our health workers, who are in the frontline of the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic”.

Last week, the insurer announced a pioneering initiative costing millions of Naira in premium revenue that will give refunds to its motor insurance policy holders.​ The offer from Wapic Insurance ensures that customers with active policies are automatically credited with refunds based on the lockdown period.​
