Leadway Asssurance Ltd is collaborating with the global reinsurance giant, Swiss Re, in championing the course of agricultural  insurance awareness creation  in Nigeria.

Leadway, said it was spurred to act in this direction following  realisation that though agriculture is a very popular business in Nigeria, it is obvious that seven out of every 10 Nigerians live through agricultural activities, agric insurance is close to non-existence in Nigeria.

This is because over the years, despite the huge population of Nigerians who engaged in agriculture, only the federal government owned Nigeria Agricultural Insurance Corporation (NAIC)  provides Agric insurance  to farmers.

The insurance services provided by the corporation is only for the few farmers who secure bank credits through the various SMEs loan scheme provided by government.

All farmers who do not access government loans are excluded from the corporation’s insurance services mainly because of ignorance and lack of driving force to compel them to buy insurance.

Against this backdrop, many farmers are excluded from agric insurance services in the country while they are frequently exposed to losses from natural risk occurrences like flood, fire outbreaks and all forms of farm diseases which often impoverish farmers and limit their chances of business growth.

But currently, Leadway assurance said it has resolved to take the opportunity of agric insurance liberalisation  instituted by the National Insurance Commission( NAICOM) few years back to popularise Agric insurance among Nigerian farmers.

Zenvus zInsure will be a great solution to help the agro insurance industry in Nigeria.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has sacked top executives of Skye Bank over capital adequacy issues, a source with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Monday.

Chief Executive Timothy Oguntayo, who led Skye Bank to acquire nationalised lender Mainstreet Bank in 2014, resigned before a central bank announcement on Monday, the source added.

Last year, the central bank gave three commercial banks until June 2016 to recapitalise after they failed to hit a minimum capital adequacy rate of 10 percent.

The Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) has said the volume of business underwritten by the insurance industry in 2015 reached N350 billion ($1 billion), against N294 billion in 2014. This represents an increase of about 19 per cent.

The industry remains very small and will need to grow. At $1 billion premium,  it is less than 0.20% of the GDP of Nigeria which is troubling.

Electronic medical records (EMR) are key components of modern healthcare delivery. And when you make the records mobile, you transition health delivery to the 21st century. Fasmicro using tablets is well positioned to help health institutions to move their electronics records to the mobile space where doctors and health professionals can make use of them without limitations of distance.

Of course, if you are not ready to move mobile, Fasmicro will implement the traditional EMR for you.  For more about this service, click here (pdf)

The photos show patient records being viewed via tablet. With Internet or GSM connection, a doctor will have access to authorised patient data anywhere.

An electronic medical record (EMR) is a computerized medical record created in an organization that delivers care, such as a hospital and doctor’s surgery. Electronic medical records tend to be a part of a local stand-alone health information system that allows storage, retrieval and modification of records (source: Wikipedia).

Fasmicro offers EM2R software, hardware systems, and a complete service portfolio to our clients. We own the Ovim Tablet environment and we will work with you to deliver the right service with absolute commitment to quality. Our system offers an unparalleled reliability, ease-of-use, efficiency, and customizability. We help clients manage their financial, administrative, clinical, and regulatory needs, and the records mobile ecosystem with guaranteed security.

When clients engage us, we will help them develop an electronic database and transform their paper format into an electronic equivalent. Our software that runs on our Ovim Tablet will help doctors manage patients care in a mobile domain. We have tested our Tablet and found it ready for any EM2R function in Nigeria (see figures below). Table 1 shows the features of our system.
