She said: “Although some of the nominations were disallowed due to non-compliance with the criteria, over 914 people combined with companies participated in the process. A significant Jump from the 392 nominations received in 2024. At the end of the rigorous fine-tuning exercise by the Judges, the following categories emerged: Life insurance company of the year; General insurance company of the year; Insurance broking company of the year; Insurance CEO of the year; Insurance broker of the year; Insurance woman of the year; Takaful insurance company of the year; Microinsurance company of the year; as well as Most valuable insurance customer of the year.”
According to
Soares, the winners in the various categories will be based on the decision of
voters which makes up 10%, the Judges’ decision also forms 10% and the collated
Data from the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) makes up 80%.
To this end,
she implores nominees to encourage their clients and the general public to
visit the Awards Website: www.almondinsuranceindustryawards.com, to cast their
votes.
She said: “Although
voting is free, companies as well as individual clients can vote just once in
each of the categories. The voting process will be closed on the 5th of
September 2025 to allow for final processing by the Awards Panel of Judges
before the Awards Nite on the 7th of November 2025 at the Stable Event Centre
45, Bode Thomas Street Surulere Lagos where winners will be announced in an
atmosphere of Glitz and excitement.
“The annual
Almond Insurance Industry Awards and Consumers’ Nite was instituted to reward
the “Can Do Spirit”, of the men and women in the various arms of the insurance
industry who strive daily to sell insurance products and services in Nigeria
despite the myriad of challenges in the business environment and the low
acceptability of insurance in Nigeria.
“The Awards
which started in 2018 has grown to become the biggest night for insurance practitioners,
policy makers, entertainers and the general public to have fun in a relaxed atmosphere.
The epoch-making event will as always feature top rated Nigerian Entertainers
in Music, Comedy and Dance. Show Host this year is the Legendary Nollywood
