Ghanaians urged to insure lives, properties
The Managing Director of Imperial General Assurance, Mrs Esther Osei Yeboah, has advised Ghanaians to take insurance policies more seriously by insuring their properties against any eventualities.

According to her, many people did not recognise the need for insurance until they encountered accidents, a situation she described as disturbing.
Speaking to the media in Accra, Mrs Yeboah said “incomes are low and, therefore, having an insurance policy does not fall on the priority list of most people”.
She also added that although there had been series of education on insurance, many people did not bother to make an attempt to insure themselves and their properties.
“Businesses, homes, and other general possessions one acquires in life are meant to serve as some form of guarantee for ensuring a stable and comfortable life; the question however remains on how fortified these life guarantees are and what the assurance is that our possessions will continue to provide the stability and comfort we as modern human beings so desire,” she asked.
She said “home built 20 years ago which still holds dear all your cherished memories, the vehicle you bought your child and the successful business you sacrificed years in building are some of life’s greatest investments which must be guarded and protected with utmost jealousy”.
“Measures must always be in place to reduce and support uncertainties in business and human life, the fear of sudden loss should not be a phenomenon which should plague us constantly, and that is why at Imperial General Assurance there is no compromise on the quest to provide the best assurance products to guarantee security and a sound mind for the customer,” Mrs Yeboah observed.
