LASACO Assurance Plc has reiterated its commitment to advancing financial literacy and insurance awareness among young Nigerians through targeted educational initiatives.
The company made this known during the official commissioning of a state-of-the-art “Lasaco Smart Class” at Agidingbi Junior Grammar School, Ikeja — a project designed to integrate technology, education, and early exposure to financial concepts.
Speaking at the event, Sesan Oki, Head of Internal Control and Compliance at LASACO, who represented the Managing Director/CEO, described the project as more than a corporate social responsibility gesture. He noted that it represents “an investment in the future of Nigeria’s next generation and the stimulation of insurance consciousness from the grassroots.”
“At LASACO Assurance, we recognize that education and technology are the twin pillars of progress,” Oki said. “The Lasaco Smart Class is not only a contribution to improved learning outcomes, but also a deliberate effort to nurture young minds with the values of foresight, security, and preparedness — which insurance represents.”
The Smart Class initiative is equipped with modern digital learning tools aimed at improving students’ access to quality education while fostering 21st-century skills. It aligns with LASACO’s broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) agenda focused on education, innovation, and community empowerment.
Through the project, LASACO Assurance seeks to bridge educational gaps, promote technology-driven learning, and inspire financial inclusion by embedding insurance awareness into early education.
According to the company, instilling a culture of financial responsibility and insurance consciousness at a young age will help build a generation that understands the importance of financial planning, risk management, and sustainable economic growth.
