As the world marks the International Men’s Day, today, November 19, 2025, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, Mr. Olaotan Soyinka has described the male employees of the Underwriting Firm as the very rudder responsible for steering the ship of the organization to greatness in the quest for achieving excellence in every area of the company’s operations.
In his message to the male colleagues of the Underwriting Firm at a special session organized for them in commemoration of the global event, Soyinka seized the moment to eulogize them to the admiration of all. In his words, “It has been a very elating experience for me having worked with you colleagues over the span of two decades that you have all stood the test of time even in the midst of those turbulent periods that one would have thought would consume us but alas, we have on every occasion come out unscathed. No doubt, we have been so blessed as an organization to have the crop of men like you running the affairs of our great company in the last 30 years. You have all proven that you are men of valor and grit in the most professional
manner that anyone can think of.”
The Executive Director, Finance and Corporate Services, Kayode Adigun, expressed appreciation on behalf of the male employees in the organization and particularly to the Managing Director/CEO for providing instructive leadership worthy of emulation. According to him, “right from the day I joined the organization, I have never had any reason to doubt the capabilities and enormous potentials that my male colleagues have in their arsenal. The
teamwork and cooperation have been quite phenomenal both from the male and female counterparts of the organization. He equally enjoined his colleagues to also respect and honour their female counterparts as they are also a formidable force in the journey to attaining service excellence in the comity of insurance companies in the country.
He expounded on one of the core values of the organization which borders on Teamwork and reiterated that what the company has been able to achieve till date despite all the seeming challenges in the Nigerian business landscape and the insurance industry in particular, can only be attributable to that very germane core value of teamwork and respect for one another within the organization. In his words, “the success story of the organization has not been fortuitous, but rather, it has been very intentional premised on hard work, dedication to duty and commitment
to the business philosophy in words and in intent.
As the world celebrate the men today, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc is wishing all of them and the boys a hearty International Men’s Day celebration as they continue to provide the rudder for greater achievements in all spheres of life.
