The Nigerian Insurers Association, NIA, has said that it is engaging stakeholders in Lagos State with a view to launching the Nigerian Insurance Industry database, NIID, monitoring device in the state.

Reacting to a story in Vanguard which stated that LASG is frustrating insurance monitoring, the Association noted that senior officials of Lagos State government have shown tremendous support for the project and are fully convinced that it remains a veritable mechanism for wiping out fake insurance certificates.

In a statement signed by Head, corporate affairs of NIA, Mr. Davis Iyasere, the Association said that the stakeholders include the Motor Vehicle Administration Agency (MVAA), the Vehicle Inspection Office, VIO, and Ministry of Transport, the supervisory ministry.
