The Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) secondary school quiz competition holds today in Lagos.
The event which is aimed at promoting insurance awareness, will take place at the Nigerian Institute of Advance Legal Studies, University of Lagos by 10am.
President of CIIN, Sir. Muftau Oyegunle, said the initiative would enable the institute educate the younger generation on the need and importance of insurance, stressing that at the quiz competition, prizes would be giving to secondary school students who distinguished themselves.
He noted that through the competition the institute would impart the environment and at the same time, make people understand the enormous benefits derivable from insurance.
Oyegunle also said the Institute has taken steps to boost research in the insurance sector, adding that the College of Insurance & Financial Management (CIFM) has been mandated to focus more on research which will help the growth of the sector.
“When we had our retreat early this year, we gave the Rector of the College a directive that mandated the College to research in order to find out the technical needs of the industry,” he said.
He added that the report from the research would be released to the industry very soon. “We are working on that. We know research is part of our mandate and we are taking it very seriously. By the grace of God, before the end of my tenure, at least we must release our published research to the industry,” he said.
