BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—As the year draws to a close and the much-talked-about “Ember Months” unfold, the Managing of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, Olaotan, has urged Nigerians to remain cautious and prioritize safety in all activities.
While addressing the media at a recent function held in Lagos, Olaotan stated that the possession of Insurance Policies should not be a reason for carelessness by holders of such Policies.
In his words “while it is generally known that accidents are common during the ‘ember’ months as a result of increased activities during the period with people rushing to meet up with their goals as the year rounds up. It is advisable that even in the midst of such activities; we should still exercise caution so that we do not get involved in unnecessary mishaps that could have been averted.”
Soyinka said, “while it is not in dispute that Insurance helps to mitigate against risks, it should not be taken as a license to throw caution to the wind and be careless”
He cautioned that rather, Insurance should be seen as a respite in case of the unforeseen and inevitable.
It is widely known that cases of Motor crashes, fire outbreaks and other perils are usually on the increase during the last months of the year, hence the need for caution to be exercised by all and sundry so as to prevent such misfortunes.
