Edu said that the Associates’ admission which was consistent with Section 5 (1) of NCRIB Act No 21 of 2003 was meant to grow the capacity of Insurance Brokers in the market as well as open a window of expression of their professional expertise as Insurance Brokers.

Said he: I admonish you to give yourselves to learning as insurance professionals, and keep your minds open to new ideas required of a contemporary insurance professional in order to meet the increasing sophistication and changing demands of insurance clients.

The NCRIB President noted that the aspiration of the Council was to be renowned as a league of reputable Brokers in Nigeria, rendering valuable and satisfactory services to clients and opined that the present leadership of the Council was poised to give a positive and admirable narrative to members through its “Brokers-Centrism” initiatives.

Similarly, the Vice President of the Council, Mrs. Ekeoma Ezeibe gave insights into the standards of practice and ethics of the Council and advised the new members to subscribe to the highest standards of professionalism, moral and professional conduct at all times.
