The
entertainment industry in the country has in recent times lost many of its
talented members to various ailments, while many others are exposed to work
hazards such as kidnap and accidents, which leave their dependents’ to bear the
losses alone.
In
order to protect against the troubles of sudden deaths and hazards, the CELEBRITIES AND ENTERTAINERS are to
embrace special insurance covers specifically designed for them by member
companies of the Nigerian Insurers Association.
Like
their counterparts in the United States and European countries where there are
insurance policies for the artistes and their equipment, the Nigerian thespians
and the body of insurers are in serious negotiations for the introduction of
innovative products to mitigate potential losses by the artistes.
Various
sub-committees have been set up to look into the various policies available for
the entire industry as practised in more advanced countries, especially the
United Kingdom.
We
hope the celebrities would quickly attach themselves to these policies so as to
prepare them for the protections against unforeseen occurrences.
