Group Head, Marketing and Corporate Communication, Cordelia Ekeocha, added that the results reaffirm Cornerstone’s customer-first approach and commitment to simplifying insurance for Nigerians.

“This performance is proof that we are not just selling policies, we’re delivering peace of mind every day,” Ekeocha said. “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and it’s their continued confidence that drives our creativity and passion.
