Cornerstone Insurance thinking consolidation in the ongoing recapitalisation exercise

Cornerstone Insurance is looking at a bigger picture of a consolidated company post recapitalisation, where the brand is going to compete effectively with benefits of stronger capacity, synergy, robust human capital and higher technical capacity.

This is as the company is already financially comfortable to meet the regulatory requirement for firms in its category in the ongoing recapitalisation exercise in the industry.

Musa had said during a press conference in Lagos that cornerstone Insurance came out from its loss position of N1.7billion in 2017 to N1.8billion profit in 2018, even as the 2019 profit outlook is showing sign of higher profit from that of the previous year, judging from its 2019 third quarter report.
