He added, “this academy goes beyond training. It is about nurturing talent, strengthening leadership, and embedding a culture of continuous learning that aligns with our long-term growth ambitions as a Group.”

Cornerstone Insurance stated that over the long term, the academy is positioned to evolve into a leading centre of learning and knowledge for the insurance and financial services sector.

Alangbo also disclosed that “our vision is for the Cornerstone Academy to grow beyond our organisation and contribute meaningfully to the development of the insurance ecosystem. We see it as a platform for shaping industry talent, strengthening professionalism, and advancing Africa’s financial services capacity.”

The forthcoming physical training infrastructure will complement the digital platform by providing modern learning spaces designed for workshops, leadership labs, simulations, and collaborative learning experiences.
