The National Insurance Commission (NIC) says no ‘Akwabaa Insurance’ for international tourists arriving in the country has been approved.
As a result, it has urged the general public to disregard reports of a supposed mandatory ‘Akwabaa Insurance.’
Some reports had claimed that all international passengers arriving at Kotoka International Airport would be required to sign up for insurance coverage by the end of the first quarter of the year.
The reports further claimed that State Insurance Company PLC (SIC), GLICO Insurance, and Enterprise Insurance were the three insurance companies at the forefront of the ‘Akwaaba Insurance.’
In a statement released in response to the report, the NIC denied any such insurance coverage.
“It has come to the notice of the National Insurance Commission (NIC) that a publication on the above-mentioned product which is purported to be mandatory for all international travelers arriving in Ghana effective end of first quarter 2022 is being circulated,” it said.
“The NIC wishes to advise the general public that the said ‘Akwabaa Insurance’ has not been approved by the Commission and as such any publication to that effect should be disregarded,” the statement added.
