Guinea Insurance Unveils Five-Year Dev Plan
The Managing Director of Guinea Insurance Plc Mr Polycarp Didam, has said the firm will strategically grow its market share through a decisive five-year investment and customer engagement plan.
A statement from the firm recently, quoted the Managing Director, as saying that the company had simplified its claim payment process.
He said, we want to become one of the top five insurance companies in the country by the year 2018, hence, we have carefully created a five-year strategic business plan, our objectives being to build capacity, consolidate and reposition the GI brand and ultimately build a tribe of loyal and dedicated customers who would remain our brand ambassadors”.
He explained that part of the repositioning strategies of the company was to constantly improve on customer service, claims experience and ultimately stand out the Guinea Insurance brand amongst its peers.
“A customer satisfaction is the pivot of our achievements and this inevitably builds brand loyalty”, he said.
According to him, “our company’s capacity to settle genuine claims to the insuring public is underscored by its increasing premium yielding policies and capital generating ventures. We have therefore adopted a rapid claims payment system to ensure that our response time for claim settlement is within 72 hours upon receipt of a duly executed discharge voucher from the insured”.
The firm stated it made a total claims payment of N138 million at the end of the second quarter of this year on various classes of insurance.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
