“At FIN Insurance, we recognize the integral role that brokers play in bridging the gap between insurers and clients.
“Your insights, relationships, and commitment to understanding the unique needs of your clients contribute significantly to the success of our industry,” explained Mr Binji.
He further pledged to develop specialized products to support brokers, assign individual responsibilities to their portfolio, and provide risk management assistance to brokers and their clients.
He also outlined plans for further enhancement of technical and technology teams to improve service capacity, increase transaction efficiency, facilitate information sharing, and enhance joint marketing efforts.
The president of NCRIB, Mr. Babatunde Oguntade, used the occasion to call on the federal government and relevant agencies to address the issue of food scarcity in the country.
He identified insecurity, including attacks on farmers, as a major factor contributing to the food shortage and urged prompt action to mitigate these challenges.
