The Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN), has opened a world class electronic-library.
The library, is equipped with state of the art facilities, comparable to what can be found in the library of other insurance institutes abroad.
Funmi Babington-Ashaye chairman of the Council of the Institute, speaking during the unveiling of the e-library said, “the coming on board of the library was a fulfillment of her vision to provide a conducive study center in the secretariat, where members can come in to do research, and deepen their knowledge.
“With experiences drawn from other professional institutes abroad including the CII UK, I feel accomplished that the Institute in Nigeria could boast of such a library of international standard.
Babington-Ashaye said “It is mine believe that our members we take advantage of this facility to enhance their knowledge and update their skills for the benefits of the entire insurance industry”.
The CIIN under the watch of Babington-Ashaye recently completed the upgrade of the secretariat building, started about two years ago with the vision to provide the secretariat staff a decent and conducive environment to work.
Babington-Ashaye in her acceptance speech on 25th July 2017 when she assumed the presidency of the CIIN with the theme ‘Insurance: Imperative for Education and Enlightenment’ said the choice was informed by the need to confront lack of general awareness which is the greatest challenge facing the profession and the Industry.
“People lack knowledge about Insurance and it is importance in all human endeavours including business undertakings,” she added.
