ADDRESS BY SIR MUFTAU OYEGUNLE, PRESIDENT/CHAIRMAN OF COUNCIL, CHARTERED INSURANCE INSTITUTE OF NIGERIA AT THE INSTITUTE’S QUIZ COMPETITION FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS HELD ON THURSDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER 2021 AT ILISAN TOWN-HALL, OGUN STATE.
Protocol.
On behalf of the Council of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria and the Institute’s Quiz committee; I welcome you all to today’s event, which is the second edition of CIIN quiz competition for secondary school students in Nigeria. It is indeed a great honour and pleasure to have you all with us today. And it is a double honour that you all are here in my home-town.
This quiz competition is borne out of the CIIN’s desire to enlighten and introduce young minds to the amazing world of insurance. This initiative is also aimed at promoting the significance of insurance in our daily lives, community development, poverty alleviation, economic advancement and world peace.
Insurance ensures that we have adequate safety nets against the misfortunes of life by providing compensation for its customers that enable them to survive the adversities of life. Hence, insurance provides us with a means of protecting ourselves and our families from unexpected but possible financial losses while also enhancing the capacity to build wealth.
This competition is designed to create awareness amongst you, the young adults, who we consider the future of our industry, about the importance of Insurance as a service and the career opportunities it offers to students like you.
It is my belief that whatever you have learnt in preparation for the competition will impact your lives positively. Similarly, the knowledge and information you receive here today would assist you in your career choice.
I sincerely hope that every student here would maximize the opportunities which this competition provides and make insurance his/her course of first choice when going into the university.
Permit me to inform you that this competition is not all about winning but also about having fun while learning more about insurance.
Once again, it is my pleasure to be here today, and I thank all those who have assisted in making today a reality while wish all the participants the best of luck.
Thanks and God bless.
Sir. M.O. Oyegunle
President/Chairman of Council.
Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria.
