The Director-General Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), Olorundare Sunday Thomas, has expressed the Association’s readiness to collaborate with any institution in developing the human capacity needs of the local insurance market.
Thomas stated this while receiving a delegation of CICA Re led by Aristide – Emile Kaneho, the technical advisor which paid a courtesy visit to the NIA secretariat recently to discuss ways of training underwriters in some highly technical areas to ensure proper risk pricing and quality service delivery to clients.
Kaneho stated that CICA Re had fully established a stronghold in Francophone countries but that the company is looking at bringing “a message” to the Nigerian market and expressed the hope that with the support of the Association, the reinsurance company would achieve its objective.
According to him, CICA has been conducting training in CIMA region but wants to see what it can bring and get from the Nigerian market.
Responding, Thomas thanked the representatives of the reinsurance company for their interest in increasing the technical capacity in the industry through training, adding that the Association’s major activity is essentially capacity building, advocacy and dissemination of relevant market information to all members.
He noted that technology had broken various forms of regional boundaries which the industry need to leverage on and expressed the hope that CICA Re would remain committed to its desire to show presence and bring value to the Nigerian market.
