The President of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers, Babatunde Oguntade, has challenged the newly inducted 66 individuals and 18 corporate new members on professionalism and upholding the values of the council.

At the induction ceremony held in Lagos, the NCRIB president emphasised the critical role insurance brokers play in bridging the gap between clients and insurers.

He also highlighted the importance of the inductees’ dedication to the continued growth and resilience of the economy, noting that their expertise and guidance were essential in times of need.

He emphasised the need for their unwavering commitment to supporting the Council’s mission of building a formidable broking profession and strengthening their collective voice and impact. Oguntade also urged the inductees to “embrace the core values of NCRIB, to continually develop their skills and knowledge, and to always prioritise the interests of their clients.”

He stressed the importance of active participation in the Council’s programmes and events, which attract Mandatory Compulsory Professional Development points, highlighting that this would not only enhance their personal and professional growth but also reinforce the strength of the Council.

The president also encouraged the inductees to participate in international events, such as those organised by the African Insurance Organisation and the British Insurance Brokers’ Association, to broaden their exposure and network.

He noted that consistent moral and financial support from members was vital to the Council’s sustained progress, entrusting the new members with the responsibility of carrying the torch forward, upholding the shared legacy, and shaping the future of the broking profession.
