Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Lagos State Governor, is likely to receive the highest honour, at this year’s Almond Insurance Industry Awards and Consumers’ Nite.

A statement from the organisers of the award on Friday, signed by the Chief Executive Officer of Almond Productions Limited, Ms Faith Ughwode, said Lagos State had over the years blazed the trail in terms of supporting the insurance and pensions industry through annual budgetary allocations for the payment of premiums and pensions.

Ughwode said “It takes a visionary leader to continue and improve on existing systems. Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu embodies vision and progress and we are glad to have him shine at the Awards this year.”
