Insurance policyholders who seek benefits beyond claims payment, should look toward Hilal Takaful Nigeria Limited, which offers cashback from surplus recorded in a year to insured that didn’t make a claim.

Takaful is a type of Islamic insurance wherein members contribute money into a pool system to guarantee each other against loss or damage. Takaful-branded insurance is based on sharia or Islamic religious law, which explains how individuals are responsible to cooperate and protect one another. Takaful policies cover health, life, and general insurance needs.

The Managing Director/CEO, Hilal Takaful Nigeria, Thaibat Adeniran, who spoke on how the firm is changing lives through its products and services, also reiterated that Takaful Insurance is not solely for Muslims, but designed to cater for needs of the insuring public.
