The Central Regional branch of the National Insurance Commission (NIC) has on Monday 5th September 2022 launched its ‘Central Regional Insurance Awareness Celebration’ for this year at the UCC Credit Union Building Conference situated in Pedu (Cape Coast).
The eventfully packed two weeks program which aims at sensitizing the ordinary individual living within the Central Region on the nitty-gritty of insurance policies is slated to hold from 5th September through to the 18th of September, 2022, as the Commission on its outrage in some carefully selected five districts within the region is scheduled to respectively visit places like Assin Fosu, Winneba, Twifo Praso, before climaxing it all at the Region’s capital Cape Coast.
The NIC through its strategically scheduled program is said to carefully make out time to school the masses on insurance products like life insurance, motor insurance and fire insurance, as they are said to be the most purchased insurance products across the country and the world at large.
Speaking in an interview with the Commission’s Central Regional Head, Madam Nicholina Naa Yeye Adumuah on the motive behind the program dubbed “Securing Your Future Through Insurance” told Accra-UK based Rainbow Radio reporter Eric Annan;
“The NIC together with its affiliated insurance companies within the Central Region has through this program set before us to offer a comprehensive education on insurance policies to any individual who has the desire in working with an insurance company to be well abreast with any insurance policy before venturing to purchase it.”
“On why we’ve set out certain insurance policies like the life insurance, motor and the fire insurance to have more light thrown on them throughout this program translates that the country’s Insurance Act confines on each and every individual who owns a commercial place (like Hotel, Radio Station, Church, Conference Centre, etc) to acquire a fire insurance, whereas the country’s Road Traffic Act equally impose on the citizenry to first insure its cars under the motor insurance policy before the thought of having to drive it on the road, which many are ignorant of, hence the ideology behind the careful selection of these insurance policies and the motive behind this program,” she said.
The program which saw a colourful launch was heavily graced as well by representatives of reputable organizations like the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), the Regional Police Command, the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA) Central Regional Head, Madam Linda Affotey Annang as well as insurance companies like the SUNU Insurance Company, Vanguard Assurance and the Starlife Insurance Company Limited.
