Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has charged insurance practitioners to work towards instilling confidence of Nigerians in the profession as one of the major drivers of the nation's economy.
Governor Mimiko gave the charge in his office in Akure during a courtesy/condolence visit by members of the Association of Registered Insurance Agents of Nigeria (ARIAN), on the demise of his mother-in-law.
Governor Mimiko, who appreciated the delegation led by its patron, Chief Oladipo Bailey, for the visit, however identified sharp practices and un-organised agents as some major impediments to the growth of the profession in the past.
Dr Mimiko advised stakeholders in the business to sustain the current level of transformation so that Nigerians can derive more satisfaction from the services rendered.
He then assured them of his administration's partnership with the institution in the area of engaging graduate youths in gainful employment.
In his speech, Chief Bailey noted that insurance business serves as a major source of employment to graduate youths.
He said being an insurance agent provides ample future opportunities for graduate youths, especially in the present socio-economic situation of the country and pleaded with the state government to intensify effort in the orientation of youth for the challenge.
