LAGOS – Cornerstone Insurance Plc, has been recognised with two highly coveted awards, ‘Top 100 Businesses Making Impact for 2025’ by Business Times and also honoured with the ‘Best Customer Care and Risk Man-agement Award’ at the West Africa Innovation Awards.

These twin recognitions high-light Cornerstone Insurance’s con-sistent drive to deliver value, inspire confidence, and build stronger con-nections with customers and com-munities across Nigeria and West Africa.

The Top 100 Businesses Making Impact award celebrates organisa-tions that demonstrate measurable influence in shaping industries and driving sustainable development. Cornerstone Insurance stood out for its role in promoting financial secu-rity, encouraging a culture of protec-tion, and innovating within Nigeria’s evolving insurance landscape.

The Best Customer Care and Risk Management Award from the West Africa Innovation platform was given in recognition of Cor-nerstone’s outstanding service cul-ture and forward-looking approach to risk management. This award reflects the company’s unwaver-ing commitment to listen, respond, and provide timely solutions that safeguard customers’ businesses, homes, health, and future.

Speaking on the double win, Ste-phen Alangbo, Managing Director/ CEO of Cornerstone Insurance Plc, said: “Awards like these are never just about a company’s name. They are about the people behind the name. At Cornerstone, our employ-ees have shown what it means to serve with passion and to believe in the work we do. Without them, these recognitions would not have been possible. This is their victory, and I am proud to dedicate both awards to them. Our people are the true cor-nerstone of this organisation.”

Mr. Alangbo further dedicated the West Africa Innovation Award specifically to the company’s cus-tomers, adding: “Our approach to customer care is simple; listen, understand, and respond with em-pathy. Insurance is not just about policies and claims; it is about peo-ple, their families, their businesses, and their dreams. This recognition for customer care and risk manage-ment belongs to every client who has trusted us with their future. We remain committed to serving them even better.”

Over the years, Cornerstone In-surance has maintained a reputa-tion for integrity, transparency, and innovation in Nigeria’s insurance sector.

The company’s investments in digital transformation, its robust portfolio of insurance products, and its emphasis on customer-first ser-vice have set it apart in an industry often challenged by trust and acces-sibility.
