The managing director/CEO of Sovereign Trust Insurance (STI) Plc, Mr. Olaotan Soyinka, has lauded the efforts of Nigerian workers and their contributions to national development, just as the world marked this year’s edition of Workers’ Day on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
While giving his remark at the company’s Appreciation Day Ceremony held at its headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos, at the weekend, Soyinka noted that a virile and dedicated workforce is very instrumental and germane to the progress of any society.
He said the date, May 1, should be seen as a very important one because it is the day set aside to celebrate and give due respect to workers all over the world, regardless of their social strata in society. According to him, ‘every legitimate form of work is as important as the other and credence must be given to all and sundry without any bias.’

The management of the company, he said, will not stop at investing in the development of the company’s human capital while also placing technology at the heart of its business operations, even as he equally assured the members of staff that their labour will not go in vain as they contribute their quota to the growth and advancement of the organisation.
The head of Human Resources for STI Plc, Adeola Onichabor, in her response to the MD/CEO’s speech, thanked the management for the uncompromising stance in investing in Training and Human Capital Development for members of staff both at the local and international level.
She equally used the opportunity to thank and encourage her colleagues to continue in their stride of hard work and dedication to the ideals of the company. She enjoined them to also respect and honour one another in the discharge of their duties as the organisation strives to maintain best practice standards in the comity of insurance companies in the country and beyond.
Some members of staff who had been with the organisation from inception were equally recognised and appreciated for their commitment, unwavering dedication and contribution to the growth of the organisation in the last 30 years of the company’s formation.
