A pool of independent investigators to investigate the
genuineness of claims above N500 million is being assembled, the Director General
Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) Sunday Thomas, has said.
He told Inspen in
a telephone interview, that the association is working hard to ensure that the
pool is made up of experienced people, adding that the task is beyond the
capacity of few individuals.
He said: “The first point of call is to have a pool of
investigators that would carry out that assignment on behalf of the association.
That is the stage that we are. We are trying to have a pool of investigators that
would handle the task, for the assignment is beyond what a person can handle.”
He said the decision to institute the investigative pool was
reached at the Association’s Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) retreat held early
in the year, stressing that the initiative would help operators learn from
mistakes made in underwriting and claims handling.
