I can say that Leapfrog is the leader in designing insurance products for the mass-market and it is made up of an exceptional team of strategic operators and we believe they are the right guys to come in to ensure that UT Life becomes part of the market leaders in the insurance business in Ghana.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Prince Amoabeng added, &#8220;They are the right partner to take UT Life to its next level of growth.
