The Board Chairman of Ghana Reinsurance, George Otoo, at the launch of the company’s 50th anniversary celebration in Accra, said the company had chalked a huge milestone from a small beginning in 1972 and would continue to grow to serve clients across Africa and subsequently the world at large.

“We are not only marking 50 productive years but it is a golden celebration of 50 years of continued cordial, collaborations, perseverance and fruitful business operations with loyal clients.

“This a committed we would endeavour to keep to sustain the company and provide reinsurance support for the insurance industry in Ghana and the continent at large,” he said.
