Cast Your VoteAbout the awards
Setting the benchmark for the sector since 2018.
The Almond Insurance Industry Awards were founded to recognise the companies, executives and brokers whose work has strengthened trust in Nigerian insurance.
Nominees are drawn from across the market and assessed against performance, innovation and service to policyholders, then put to a combination of public voting and independent review.
Today the awards are a fixture of the industry calendar, watched by insurers, regulators and customers alike, and a mark of distinction that travels well beyond the ceremony itself.
