Cornerstone Insurance Plc, one of Nigeria’s foremost insurance companies has continued to expand the scope of its relevance in Nigeria’s socio-economic landscape beyond its core insurance business. The recent is the company’s launching of what it described as a digital-first learning and development platform designed to strengthen talent growth across the organisation.
Cornerstone Insurance Plc recently partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative to “Show Love with Insurance” by providing hot meals to 500 delighted students across three low-cost private schools in Agege, reinforcing its commitment to compassion and meaningful community impact. In the spirit of love and the Valentine season, the beneficiary schools were De Royal School and Al-Huda Schools, both in Papa Ashaffa, Agege, as well as Debby & Frank Schools in Morikaz, Agege.
This heartfelt initiative, part of the EduFood program, directly tackles the harsh realities many Nigerian families face by providing nutritious meals to pupils in underserved areas. The program is designed to curb school absenteeism, boost enrolment, enhance concentration and academic performance, and ease the daily financial burden on parents and caregivers who often struggle to put lunch on the table for their little ones.
The company’s launching of what it described as a digital-first learning and development platform designed to strengthen talent growth across the organisation marks a key milestone in Cornerstone Insurance’s long-term human capital strategy, reinforcing its commitment to continuous learning and sustainable performance. The academy integrates digital learning platforms with purpose-built physical training facilities. While the digital platform is already live, the upcoming physical academy will further enhance inperson and hybrid learning experiences
Developed by the Human Capital team, the Learning Management System (LMS) serves as the academy’s virtual classroom and is now accessible to employees across the Group;https://academy.cornerstone.com.ng/.
