The Chartered Insurance
Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) as part of efforts to consolidate the benefits
accruable from the introduction of insurance subjects in secondary schools is
partnering Joseph Ayo Babalola University to conduct retraining programme for
insurance teachers.
The Director-General CIIN
Kola Ahmed, told Inspen in a telephone interview that the institute is organising
the programme to equip the teachers for better teaching of the subject in schools,
adding that the institute will continue to interact with stakeholders in the schools.
He said the modalities
for the exercise are to be jointly worked out between the institute and the
university, which is renowned for such programme.
Supporting the school insurance project, the
institute spent N4 million to publish an insurance book, which over 2000 copies
were donated to schools.
President Chartered
Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) Fatai Lawal said: “I am pleased to
announce that our Council has approved the donation of three copies of the book
to each of the over 2,000 Public Secondary Schools in Nigeria. This, we believe
is a significant step in the current campaign to facilitate the teaching and
learning of Insurance in secondary schools.”
He noted that publication
of the book offers unique opportunity for advancing one of the cardinal
programmes of the institute which is the promotion of insurance education in
Nigeria. He added that it will also herald a new dawn in insurance education by
entrenching insurance in the consciousness of secondary school students, who
are the future leaders of our nation.
