“This is to notify the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and the general public that following the concluded divestment of Unity Bank Plc’s holdings in UnityKapital Assurance Plc and the resolution passed by members of the company at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on September 14, 2017, the company has changed its name from UnityKapital Assurance Plc to Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc,” the statement said.
Furthermore, UnityKapital Assurance noted that, “The registered address of the company remains at the Plot 497, Abogo Largema Street, CBD, Abuja.”
Also, it said, “All documents of the company bearing its former name remain valid.”
“Our esteemed customers’ nationwide, concerned authorities and the general public should please update their records accordingly and address all future business correspondence to Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc,” the statement concluded.
