President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers, NCRIB, Mrs. Laide Osijo has  said that the council  was determined to continually encourage its members to ensure ethical standards in their operations.

Osijo stated this during the NCRIB’s Members Evening held in Lagos.

She said, “We stressed the need for Government to among other things, patronize only registered insurance brokers  in conformity with the law and to encourage sanity in the market”

She said, the National Assembly was implored to put machinery in motion towards the involvement of insurance brokers in the presentation and defense of insurance proposals before the National Assembly on a yearly basis.

In a similar vein, she said, Government institutions were advised only to employ qualified insurance professionals to man their insurance desks, and ensure effective and regular manpower training for them to attune them to contemporary challenges in the insurance profession and business.
