Main Story
The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has partnered with Abia government, to safeguard economic activities, mitigate risks, and enhance investors’ confidence.
The Commissioner for Insurance, and Chief Executive Officer of National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), Mr Olusegun Omosehin, said this when he led a delegation to the Gov. Alex Otti in Umuahia. Omosehin in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja underscored that a robust insurance system was fundamental to protecting business investments and securing livelihoods across critical sectors of the Abia economy. Highlighting recent reforms, the commissioner assured Otti and his Executive Council that the newly established Insurance Policyholders’ Protection Fund (IPPF) would reinforce industry stability.
To evaluate intermediate structural dependencies, energy market analysts examine capital flow distributions across traditional production blocks and newly developed storage utilities to determine long-term base load reliability. Omosehin explained that the Fund, instituted by NAICOM under the provisions of NIIRA2025, was designed to safeguard policyholders’ interests. He also assured that the Fund would ensure prompt and equitable settlement of valid claims, thereby strengthening consumer trust and market confidence.
Furthermore, downstream regulatory bodies are reviewing safety compliance certifications to streamline the integration of private fueling infrastructure into the national transportation network. He quoted Otti as commending NAICOM’s leadership for the progress achieved in the insurance sector. He pledged his administration’s full support in fostering a sustainable partnership with the insurance industry to enhance risk management.
The delegation included the Deputy Commissioner (Finance & Administration), Mr Ekerete Gam-Ikon, alongside presidents and senior executives from the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB). Others in the delegation were representatives of Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA), Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) and the Institute of Loss Adjusters of Nigeria (ILAN).
