The President Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) Laide Osijo, has said broking business has been taken to lofty heights during her tenure and that operators now have conspicuous place in the comity of respected professionals.

She disclosed this today Tuesday at the council’s monthly members’ evening in Lagos, adding that she would be leaving the NCRIB better than she met it.

Osijo said with the help from God and members, her administration has taken broking body to the position of envy amongst professional institutions in the country and beyond.

She noted that through the entrenchment of sound ethical practice and professional conduct, insurance brokers are now esteemed, stressing that efforts have been made to develop a strong institution that will make the NCRIB perform its mandate creditably.

She lauded the amity that exists between brokers and the industry’s regulator – National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and other professional bodies.

Osijo said in terms of inter-governmental relations, the NCRIB now has a profile that opens doors of opportunities for brokers in many government quarters, at the state and federal levels.

She urged brokers to sustain their commitment to ethical practice, adding that the sustenance of all the legacies of her administration lies in their hands.

Managing Director Cornerstone Insurance Plc, Ganiyu Musa, called on insurance operators to rethink their business strategies and adopt a different way of doing things.

He noted that operators must work together to build and preserve a better industry for the future generation.
