members of the public.
According to him, we are using the walk to mark the 60th anniversary
of the council and at the same time, we are using the walk to also
preach insurance and the importance of using insurance broker to close
your insurance engagement because brokers are known to be the
professionals in the industry.
‘’Brokers have the technical knowledge of insurance and they can help
you review your premium, they can help you identify your risk and
various insurance policies, that is why brokers are very important in
the insurance value chain.
Edu said the NCRIB insurance walk is to ‘’deepen insurance and also to
celebrate our 60th anniversary.’’
‘’The walk is not going to be limited to road alone; we will also
have it in the markets to educate the market men and women on the need
for them to buy fire insurance for their wares and properties; the
need for them to take group life insurance for their various groups,’’
he explained.
Edu said as part of the programme, the Council has initiated lawn
tennis completion which he said will take place on Saturday and Sunday
at the Ikeja Tennis Club.
‘’We want to use this platform to bring consistent information on
insurance and awareness to the Nigeria populace,’’ NCRIB boss said.
