Operators have expressed the need to forge more synergy towards growing the insurance industry by accelerating its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

This intention was expressed at the meeting of heads of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) led by its President, Mr. Rotimi Edu, when the Council’s delegation visited the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) in Lagos

Edu noted that the industry’s crave for cohesion and professionalism could only be achieved if brokers, who are members of the NCRIB, accelerated their collaboration with underwriters under the aegis of the NIA.

“Revitalisation of the various Joint and Technical Committees of the industry is being put at the front burner to facilitate effective sharing of information between our two unique professional divisions in the industry,” Edu noted.

Earlier,the immediate past Chairman of the NIA, Mr. Ganiu Musa, pledged the readiness of the NIA to cooperate with the brokers body to re-energise the Joint Technical Committee, noting that no effort should be spared in exchanging information to make the industry vibrant and contribute to the national economy.
