The Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has called for continuing support and cooperation from insurance operators and stakeholders to enable him pilot the affairs of the industry effectively.
Kari, who said this yesterday at the investiture of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) President, Lady Isioma Chukwuma, also thanked all the people who prayed for him when he was appointed commissioner.
"I want to seize this opportunity being my first official public engagement as Commissioner for Insurance to say thank you to all those who sent me messages of congratulations and prayers on my appointment. I join you all in praying that God grants us the strength and wisdom to lift the industry another notch from where it is today.
"Permit me to also use this medium to seek your continuing support and cooperation in piloting the affairs of my new responsibilities. I thank you in advance for your additional prayers.
"Current developments in the country obviously call for our collaborative effort to reposition the profession and the industry. We should not be unmindful of the perception of the insurance profession by the public," he said.
He called on operators to join forces in tackling the poor public perception on insurance, stressing that the apathy towards insurance and the way and manner the profession is being addressed need a rethink from all stakeholders.
"We all know the whys, let’s us discuss dispassionately and agree the hows of correcting the wrong perceptions," he added.
