Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers is set to sensitise business owners to the importance of marine and goods-in-transit insurance policies.
In a statement on Saturday, the firm said that the webinar comes on the heels of Nigerian businesses dealing with rising supply chain risks such as theft, accidents, delays, and damage to goods, often resulting in significant financial losses.
The webinar scheduled for Wednesday is titled ‘Smart Insurance for Savvy Businesses: Understanding Marine and Goods-in-Transit Insurance’ and aims to provide business leaders with practical strategies to protect their goods in transit and maintain operational continuity.
The brokers said that by spotlighting marine insurance and goods-in-transit insurance, Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers seeks to provide practical guidance to organisations on how to manage risk effectively while sustaining growth.
Speaking on the objective of the webinar, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers, Anselem Igbo, noted that proactive risk management in today’s business environment is a critical need to know.
He said, “Uncertainty is a reality that businesses cannot ignore, especially when goods are in transit or crossing borders. At Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers, we believe that businesses should not merely react to disruptions but anticipate and prepare for them. This webinar will show business owners how the right insurance solutions can safeguard their operations, protect assets, and strengthen resilience.”
The event will feature the Administrative Manager at Boldars Plus Nigeria Limited, Mr. Austin Omoike, as the guest panellist. Drawing from his industry experience, Mr. Omoike will share practical perspectives on the risks businesses encounter in moving goods across Nigeria and internationally, and how insurance coverage can serve as a vital buffer.
With increased trade activity and the expansion of e-commerce, reliance on logistics and supply chains has grown significantly. However, many businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises, remain unaware of how insurance solutions can protect them against unforeseen events. This knowledge gap often leaves enterprises exposed to financial shocks that can threaten the survival or hinder the growth of their businesses.
The session is open to entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporate executives, and professionals across all sectors who wish to understand how insurance can strengthen their business resilience.
