In his address, the NCRIB’s president, sought the support and collaboration of the the Nigeria High Commission in the area of trade relationship.
Edu noted that the industry was getting over the challenges of inadequate capital and insufficient professional expertise to handle huge risks.
He noted that the Nigerian insurance industry shared a heritage with the UK and as such got inspiration from the importance attached to insurance by the UK government and citizens/residents.
The NCRIB’s president stated that the council was open to more collaboration with UK institutions, as insurance was a global profession and business.
According to Edu, NCRIB, under the present leadership, has priotised strategic engagements both locally and internationally.
