Staco boss awards doctorate degree

The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Staco Insurance Plc, Olawale Banmore has been awarded doctorate degree in Business Administration and Marketing with Specialisation in Strategic Marketing from Babcock University, Ogun State.

This is the latest in his many feats in the academic world as he had his Thesis on ‘Claims Management Strategies and Performance of selected insurance companies’ and the topic indicated the effect of claims management practices on firm performance, significantly moderated by government policy of selected insurance companies in Lagos State, Nigeria.

While his findings show that there exists a positive correlation between Nigeria’s monetary development and all-out-protection speculation and the relationship between complete protection venture and GDP in Nigeria, the findings point out that insurance is a cover from financial loss.

The findings of the study revealed that non-life insurance penetration had a positive and substantial effect on the economic growth in Nigeria during the period while the thesis has opened the door for scholars in Nigeria and other African nations to expand the frontier of knowledge in this domain.

Speaking on his feat, Banmore said: “The source of my existence as well as my hope, the hope that brought me to this point in my life and would undoubtedly take me far beyond it, God, the all-powerful, he is the source.
