Mr. Shola Tinubu, the new President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), said his tenure will make  the insurance broking profession stand toe to toe with its counterparts anywhere in the world, and he has drawn a ten year agenda in agreement with the deputy president and Vice President to ensure that his tenure leave behind a secure institution to upcoming generation.

During his first press conference as president of the organization, he said “Prior to the investiture ceremony, my team and I had worked assiduously to arrive at one, but octopus sustainable agenda, that will ensure that Insurance Broking profession stand at par with its counterparts anywhere in the world. Definitely, this is an agenda that is intended to outlive this tenure and that is why, both the Deputy and Vice President of the Council had been deliberately made a part of its conception and subsequently the implementation.”

He said the NCRIB “will open up retailing business which will increase insurance penetration. The Council will also continually invent ingenious programmes and explore opportunities for our members to enhance their interest and commitment to the NCRIB as their professional body.

“Bearing in mind the challenging economic climes that we operate today, the Council will see to it that all avenues to generate more revenue are deployed. We shall explore all our latent potentials and see to it that they become cash cows for us, bearing in mind that our Council does not enjoy any form of subvention or statutory financial support from any quarter.”

“We shall continue to educate our members on areas that would assist them to effectively adhere to regulatory mandates of NAICOM and would not shy in interfacing between them and the Commission for a peaceful and progressive practice. We shall continue to strengthen the Help Desk, to assist members which have issues with the Commission with a view to resolving them,” he added.
