The Emir of Kano, His Royal Highness, Muhammadu Sanusi II, is expected to launch Kano branch of Jaiz Takaful Insurance Plc. in his palace on 30th October, 2017.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Momodou Musa Joof, made the disclosure at a breakfast meeting in his office in Abuja.
A statement signed and made available to our correspondent by the Company’s Corporate Communication Executive, Yusuf Issa An-Nuphawi, said, the company would tap Emir Sanusi’s royal blessing to improve on insurance penetration in Nigeria and Kano in particular.
According to Mr. Joof, the ceremony which will partly feature parley between the top management officials of the Company and Kano business communities and associations, would have the Company’s Board Chairman, Dr. Umaru Abdul Mutalab (CON), as a special guest.
According to the Chief Executive Officer, “Jaiz Takaful Insurance has received tremendous patronage in Kano State within few months of its operation in the State and so, it is not out of place to now formally launch it to the people and the community of Kano.”
Joof added that “the System of Takaful as an insurance service, provides solidarity in respect of human life or property of the policyholder known as Participants. They subscribe to assist and indemnify each other in the event the need arises, in addition to mutual assistance.”
“What is new is that at the end of the business year, any profit made under Takaful will be proportionately shared among its Participants and shareholders in relation to the scale of their investment,” he explained.
