Lagos, Nigeria – June 5, 2025 – Coronation Insurance Plc and Coronation Life Assurance Limited proudly welcomed members of the Actuarial & Insurance Club from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) to their corporate office in Lagos, marking a significant moment of industry-academic engagement and youth empowerment.

The students were treated to a rare behind-the-scenes experience through interactive sessions with Coronation professionals who shared authentic insights into their roles, including “A Day in the Life of an Actuary,” Underwriter, and Insurance Risk Manager. The sessions provided a practical lens into the profession and encouraged open conversations about the challenges and rewards of a career in insurance.

For many of the students, the experience was transformational. It was an opportunity not just to learn, but to envision what’s possible.
One of the students shared, “This visit opened our eyes to the fact that insurance is more than numbers – it’s about real people, decisions, and lives impacted every day.”
Participants asked bold questions and received honest answers, reinforcing Coronation’s belief in transparency, mentorship, and knowledge exchange.
