The Annual Almond Insurance Industry Awards and Consumers’ Nite was instituted to reward the “Can Do Spirit” of the men and women in the Nigerian insurance industry, who strive daily to sell insurance products and services despite the many challenges and low public acceptance of insurance in Nigeria.
Since its inception in 2018, the Awards have grown to become the biggest night for insurance practitioners, policymakers, top-rated entertainers, and the general public to gather in a relaxed and exciting atmosphere.
This year’s edition will feature top Nigerian comedians including Kelvin Sapp, Akproko, and MC Danfo, while musical headliners include Reekado Banks, Goya Menor (Dorime), Terry G, and a host of rising stars and dancers.
DJ Kentalky will be on the wheels of steel, and the night will be hosted by the ever-entertaining Nedu Wazobia.
VOTE NOW because voting ends on the 20th of September!
