The Director-General, Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) Kola Ahmed, has given the Adopt a School Initiative of the Institute a push by adopting the Command Secondary School Ojo, Lagos.

Ahmed, today Wednesday, donated copies of the Insurance textbooks written by the Institute to the school as part of his personal contributions toward enhancing insurance education and awareness.

He noted that he decided to adopt the school because it is one of the schools within his neighbourhood, adding that two of his children have passed through the school and the third is presently schooling there.

He lauded the school’s efforts in instilling high level discipline in students, noting that his two children that passed through the school are presently doing well.
