Industrial and General Insurance Plc, IGI, has paid N1.2 billion as claims to its policyholders in eight months between January and August 2016. This brings the amount of claims paid by the underwriting firm since 2015 to N3 billion.
This was contained in a statement made available to reporters by the firm. A breakdown of the eight months payments showed that the amount paid as claims under Individual life insurance amounted to N746.4 million while N157.2 was paid on Group life.
Others include N273.5 million paid on General Business, consisting of N107.2 million on oil and gas insurance, N41 million on engineering and N56.5 million on motor insurance, among others.
‘’Our ongoing corporate transformation and restructuring makes prompt payment of claims inviolable. It is for this reason that, despite the current economic constraints, IGI will continue to pursue policies that gladden customers and strengthen public trust in the company, customers as quickly as possible,’’ it said.
The firm further said the payments were in line with its resolve to settle all outstanding claims and obligations due to customers as quickly as possible.
