Consolidated Hallmark Insurance (CHI) has promised its moral and financial supports to the management of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) towards depleting insurance education, sensitisation and awareness in the country.
Speaking during a courtesy visit of new CIIN president to Consolidated Hallmark in Lagos recently, president of CIIN, Edwin Igbiti and his management pleaded for the cooperation of the underwriting firm to realise its ambition of expanding insurance education across the country.
He also used the medium to emphasise its three pillar development agenda for the industry, which, he listed as Technology, Awareness, and Infrastructure Development.
Promising to reinforce digitisation towards conducting e-examination and completion of the e-library, he pledged to embark on creation of insurance awareness by encouraging all insurance organisations and brokers to adopt a school, thereby, shifting focus to the schools and bridging the gap between the old and the new, even as he promised infrastructure development through upgrade of the secretariat.
Responding, the executive director, Operations of the company, Mrs. Mary Adeyanju, on behalf of the group managing director, Eddie Efekoha, appreciated their visit and congratulated the president on his successful investiture as the 51st president of CIIN.
Adeyanju further said, the policy thrust of Technology Awareness and Infrastructure as stated by the Igbiti were steps in the right direction, emphasising the need to have a formidable institute for the training and retraining of industry professionals as obtainable in other African countries.
Her firm, she said, has and will always support initiatives that will promote capacity building for the insurance industry, assuring the president of the CHI’s continued support on his agenda for the institute.
CHI also commended the leadership of the CIIN DG, Mrs Abimbola Tiamiyu for the positive strides the institute has made under her leadership.
