The President/Chairman of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria, Edwin Igbiti, has said that the institute is attracting youths into the profession.
Igbiti spoke at the induction ceremony of the 2023 Fellows and Associates at the College of Insurance and Financial Management, Asese, Ogun State.
He said, “Over the years, we have groomed professionals of high calibre to meet the manpower needs of the insurance industry.
“It will, therefore, not be out of place but a statement of fact to say that we have encouraged millennials and Gen-Zs to embrace the insurance business for a seamless transition.”
He congratulated the inducted Fellows and Associates of the insurance industry.
This, he said, was a significant milestone that marked not only their achievements but also their responsibility to help shape the future of the insurance industry.
“I have no doubt that with your talent, interest, determination, dedication and commitment to sustainability, you will make a significant impact not only within your organisations but also in society at large,” he said.
Igbiti urged the industry to build strong relationships with customers and colleagues.
The insurance industry, he said, is built on trust, and it is the responsibility of the industry to foster trust by offering comprehensive, customer-centric solutions and a positive attitude.
“By understanding your customers’ needs and providing them with tailored coverage, you will not only build long-lasting relationships, but also contribute to their financial security and overall well-being,” he said.
