He said: “This commitment extends to ensuring prompt settlement of legitimate claims, promoting market growth through innovation, and driving commercial value within the industry. In achieving this objective of revitalising the insurance industry, we must of necessity address the following fundamental issues plaguing the sector, which include among others; low insurance penetration, lack of public trust, market fragmentation, regulatory reforms, as well as digital transformation and adaptation.” According to him revitalizing the Nigerian insurance industry to risk-manage Nigeria’s One Trillion Dollar Economy literally speaks to the insurance industry’s readiness and preparedness to de-risk the activities that is projected to galvanize productivity, innovations, economic growth and development.
