Insurers have been told to leverage the introduction of insurance subject in secondary schools to enhance awareness. They were warned never to expect teachers and school authorities to execute the exercise on their behalf.

 A Representative of Lagos State Ministry of Education Farinloye Olumide, told  Inspen that insurers should not wait for teachers and the ministry of education to engage in insurance awareness creation, adding that the government has helped the insurance practitioners by making their profession a subject to be taught at the early stage of the citizenry.

He noted that the initiative to educate the pupils on how insurance can improve their lives, will help the operators grow their businesses and the public mitigate risks.
