The insurance chief declared that NIA was working closely with the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and other stakeholders within the financial services and technology segments to promote the business of insurance.
He added that the collaboration was geared towards increasing the sector’s contribution to the national Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which would lead to an increase in insurance penetration and density.
