The President Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance
Brokers (NCRIB) Ayodapo Soderu, who was crowned today Thursday, has pledged to
focus on nine cardinal areas to take the broking sector to lofty heights.
Speaking at his investiture in Lagos, he noted that his
agenda in office will be to develop formidable government relation/lobby process,
research development, synergy with relevant institutions, professionalism and establishment
of accounting technical committee.
Others are corporate image projection, effective human
capital development, bottom-up growth strategy and leveraging on the
instrumentality of the law to pursue the ideals and objectives of the sector.
He noted that his tenure will ingenuously create interaction
and lobby platforms to proactively engage governments at all levels, towards influencing
legislations in favour of the broking sector, adding that the act were brokers
are reactive to issues after they have been conceived and concluded will no longer
exist.
Soderu noted that the broking sector like other crucial
sectors of the economy is short of adequate statistics; hence, his tenure will
create an effective data system bureau for the storage of comprehensive and
relevant data about insurance broking.
He said since no professional body could operate in
isolation, his administration will open new vista of relationship with relevant
insurance institutions, both within and outside the country.
He maintained that he would strengthen the understanding and
mentality of brokers into certain realities concerning the practice of their
profession.
The NCRIB boss said in view of the growing expectations from
brokers, due to unfolding financial regulatory requirements, his administration
will in the first quarter of his tenure establish the accounting technical committee
that will handle issues relating to financial reporting requirements.
Soderu said as a practical step towards reducing the bogging
image problem confronting the insurance industry, especially the broking
sector, he will put in place an effective branding process, that will place
greater emphasis on institutional projection in the various mass media.
He pledged to transform the council into learning rather
than earning institution and will also fortify the Area Committee for improved performance.
He said through the instrumentality of the law, his tenure
would pursue the ideals and objectives that would enhance the performance of
the broking sector, adding that this would be achieved by seeking to better not
only legislations, but the rules and code of ethics that the operators have set
for themselves.
