Tourists who participate in this year’s Carnival Calabar will be insured against all forms of personal accidents along the 12km carnival route.
The insurance which will fall under the Group Personal Accidents Insurance was disclosed during the third dry run in preparation for this year’s carnival.
Giving some details on this, a representative of International Energy Insurance (IEI), Esheru Osime, said “we have entered into a partnership with the government to insure people along the 12km carnival route against any form of personal accidents.
“This will fall under the Group Personal Insurance and adequate compensation measures have been put in place to cater for participants in case of any accident, eventualities, or even death,” she said.
Similarly, the Executive Director of Yanga Games, Clement Nyambialso, said three lucky people would be going home with a whopping 10 million through a raffle draw.
Gab Onah, the Chairman of the State Carnival Commission said the raffle draw is in line with this year’s theme which is “Our Shared Prosperity”.
He said they intend to spread prosperity to the people particularly those participating in this year’s carnival.
The third dry run was flagged off by the deputy speaker of the State House of Assembly Sylvester Agabi on behalf of the state Governor.
