Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc has said a situation where only about six per cent of adults can currently access credit through formal financial institutions, is not ideal.

According to the company, while access to credit remains important for economic growth, financial protection mechanisms are equally essential in helping individuals and businesses withstand economic shocks.

According to the Managing Director, Mutual Benefits Assurance Plc, Femi Asenuga: “Through our diverse portfolio of solutions, Mutual Benefits continues to provide Nigerians with tools to build, preserve and protect wealth. These include education-focused protection plans, life assurance products, savings-oriented solutions, motor and property insurance and business protection products designed to safeguard livelihoods and future goals.
