AIICO Insurance Plc has reaffirmed its commitment to fostering a healthy community and potentially saving lives.

As part of this commitment, the company’s employees donated blood to the Lagos State Blood Bank in celebration of World Blood Donor Day.

The initiative was conducted in partnership with the Lagos State Government via the Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service.

The Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Manager at AIICO Insurance, Mrs. Abimbola Shobanjo, emphasised the company’s ongoing dedication to the health and wellbeing of Nigerians.

She highlighted that the employees who donated blood were driven by a sense of patriotism and compassion, aiming to assist those in need of life-saving blood transfusions.

AIICO Insurance has earlier received the prestigious “Community Blood Drive Initiative” Award from the Lagos State Blood Transfusion Service, acknowledging its significant contributions and impact of the LSBTC mandate to ensure a sufficient and high-quality blood supply in Lagos State.

The award letter from the Executive Secretary of LSBTS, Dr. B.I. Oshikomaya,  praised AIICO’s exceptional commitment, partnership, and support through its donations and corporate social responsibility efforts.

She asserted that, “World Blood Donor Day serves as a powerful reminder of the life-saving impact a single blood donation can have. We are proud of our employees who stepped forward today to answer the call and contribute to this vital cause.”
