Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc has said it extended its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative to a Lagos-based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)- Teenage Life, in a partnership aimed at strengthening youth development in the country.

Besides, the underwriter said it is committed to promoting youth mentorship in the country through its programmes that have continued to gain the management support over the years.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, Olaotan Soyinka, said: “Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc towers high above its peers in the Industry when it comes to issues of Corporate Social Responsibility, the company has been involved in numerous initiatives cutting across various platforms like Sports, Education, Entertainment, Health and so on.

“We do not compromise our stance in giving back to the society when the need arises and we hope we can do more in the years ahead”.

The Coordinator of Teenage Life, Mrs. Jessica John Braimah, said that the current initiative, which Sovereign Trust Insurance is supporting is centered on educating the youths in the areas of governance, economic empowerment and social infrastructure development.

She noted that the role of the youths is very critical to the growth and advancement of any nation, which explains why special attention is given to youth mentorship in her organization.

Braimah called on other corporate organizations to get more involved in youth administration issues in promoting a better society especially at a time when the values are fast becoming eroding in the country for one reason or the other.

“The intervention of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc in supporting our ‘Life Encounters’ radio programme on a syndicated basis across the country testifies to the affirmation of the brand as a very responsive and trusted partner that can be relied upon at any given point in time.

“I am particularly grateful to the Management of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc for their unflinching support of our programmes over the years and I hope to see more corporate organizations emulate such novel initiatives in finding a voice for our youths in the country.”

The Head of Corporate Communications and Brand Management, Sovereign Trust Insurance, Segun Bankole, said the organization’s support for Teenage Life over the years is in line with the business philosophy of the company in investing in the future of the Nigerian youth as leaders of tomorrow, as well as change agents.

He pointed out that the company has been so involved in youth development programmes, especially in the areas of sports and education.
