the main objective of the college is to boost the man power need of the
insurance and finance industries in Nigeria; we will be committed to developing
programmes that would strengthen the man power needs of the industries.
“We are very
sensitive in meeting the needs of the industries and that is why the college
will be collaborating with other institutions. Part of our programmes would be
partnering institutes abroad in order to meet this man power need. We intend to
partner colleges, institutes and universities within and out Nigeria for this
purpose. Definitely, the college is up to the task of raising first class
professionals.”
