The Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) has said that its team would be visiting the high echelon of the Nigeria Police and sister institutions to leverage on the training avenues for insurance awareness, stressing that arrangements is also being made to register all its interested members into the prestigious Nigerian German Business Association and the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).
NCRIB President, Shola Tinubu, disclosed this at the 2018 first quarter press conference with the Insurance Journalist in Lagos, adding that overtures are being made to strategic institutions by the Council to propagate insurance broking.
The NCRIB boss, said based on an unprecedented in-road the Council made into the high profile National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, the Council has been given another opportunity to deliver a talk at the Institute, adding that the opportunity would give more lift to brokers’ corporate image by enhancing the relevance of the profession.
Tinubu, said the Secretariat has also accelerated its communication with members through fortification of its social media and other information technology platforms, to make them drive better value for the Council.
“It is heartwarming that an officer of the Secretariat has now been designated to attend specifically to enquiries of members. Furthermore, approvals have been given for the Secretariat to produce a robust IT platform for membership that would enable on line interactions between the Secretariat and members as obtainable in progressive institutions,” he said.
On relationship with NAICOM, he noted that the Joint technical, legal and micro insurance committees of the NCRIB have met to fine-tune the new regulations on Corporate Governance and Guidelines on micro insurance proposed by NAICOM, with the hope that the far reaching suggestions by the Council would serve as good inputs into the guideline, eventually.
