FBNInsurance: digital innovation can help build trust in the Nigerian insurance industry

Nigeria’s insurance market boasts huge potential, but it is difficult to unlock because of the lack of trust between customers and insurance providers. FBNInsurance believes technology is about to change this. With a young population and a rapidly growing middle class, Africa presents huge opportunities to insurers.
