Insurance Brokers Woos Market Women For Microinsurance GrowthKayode Adelowokan, LagosOwing to its promise in 2013, the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers has given wings to the campaign for microinsurance awareness by taking the crusade to market women. The President of the Council, Mr. Ayodapo Shoderu, during his visit to the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Mrs. Folashade Tinubu-Ojo, in Lagos, said market women and traders constituted a significant segment that must be mobilized for the growth of insurance growth in Nigeria. The NCRIB President who chronicled instances of devastating market fire disasters in Nigeria noted that such perils had left gory tales for their victims and increased poverty levels in the country. He disclosed that Insurance Brokers were in better position to assist the market women in view of their numerical spread across the nooks and crannies of Nigeria and their vast knowledge which they could deploy to assist clients in profitable insurance placement and claims payment when a loss occurs. Responding, the Iyaloja General commended the initiatives of the NCRIB for the visit and assured that the campaign would be taken to market women and men for their business growth.
