It stated that employees of AXA Mansard visited the Lagos, Abuja and Rivers NYSC orientation camps to enlighten the 2017 Batch ‘B’ orientation course (stream II) corps members on solutions available from Axa Mansard.

Some of the solutions include the right investment vehicles for them, insurance for their valuables and loved ones, pensions to start saving for their retirement, and health insurance for access to quality healthcare.

In addition to the awareness drive at the camps, it added that AXA Mansard Health Insurance provided free basic medical services to corps members, such as medical consultation, basic medical check-up, BMI and blood pressure.

Speaking on the initiative, the Group Head, Strategy and Marketing, AXA Mansard, Mr. Kola Oni, said, “Youth empowerment is important to us, because it affords us the opportunity to enable and propel youths to become effective drivers of change and societal transformation.”
