Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers is launching a webinar to raise awareness about the importance of marine and goods-in-transit insurance for businesses.
The initiative comes amid rising supply chain risks in Nigeria, including theft, accidents, delays, and damage to goods, which can lead to significant financial losses.
The webinar, scheduled for Wednesday, is titled “Smart Insurance for Savvy Businesses: Understanding Marine and Goods-in-Transit Insurance.” It aims to give business leaders practical strategies to protect their goods while maintaining operational continuity.
By highlighting marine and goods-in-transit insurance, Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers seeks to guide businesses on effective risk management while supporting growth.
Anselem Igbo, Chief Executive of Stanbic IBTC Insurance Brokers, emphasized the importance of proactive risk management.
“Uncertainty is a reality businesses cannot ignore, especially when goods are in transit or crossing borders,” Igbo said. “Businesses should not merely react to disruptions but anticipate and prepare for them. This webinar will show how the right insurance solutions can safeguard operations, protect assets, and strengthen resilience.”
The event will feature Austin Omoike, Administrative Manager at Boldars Plus Nigeria Limited, as guest panellist. Drawing from his industry experience, Omoike will discuss common risks in moving goods across Nigeria and internationally, and how insurance can serve as a vital buffer.
With growing trade activity and e-commerce expansion, businesses increasingly rely on logistics and supply chains. Yet, many, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are unaware of how insurance can protect them against unexpected events. This knowledge gap often leaves businesses exposed to financial shocks that can threaten their survival or growth.
The webinar is open to entrepreneurs, SMEs, corporate executives, and professionals across all sectors who want to learn how insurance can enhance business resilience.
