Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc has said it
is partnering a Lagos-based non-governmental organisation (NGO),
Teenage Life, on youth development in line with its Corporate Social
Responsibility (CRS) initiative.
Speaking on the company’s contribution to
youth development, the Coordinator of Teenage Life, Mrs. Jessica John
Braimah commended the commitment of the Underwriting Firm in promoting
youth mentorship in the country through the various programmes it has
sponsored over the years.
She explained 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.
According to her, 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
organisation. She appealed to other corporate organisations to get more
involved in youth administration issues in promoting a better society
especially at this time when values are fast becoming eroded in the
country for one reason or the other.
She described Sovereign Trust Insurance
as a worthy brand that sets pace for others to emulate through its
Social Responsibility activities.
“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 its unflinching support of our
programmes over the years and I hope to see more corporate organisations
emulate such novel initiatives in finding a voice for our youths in the
country.”
Also speaking at the event, Managing
Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc,
Mr. Olaotan Soyinka said his company towers high above its peers when it
comes to issues of CSR.
