The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has reaffirmed its strong commitment to maintaining high labour standards and promoting the welfare of all staff.

As a regulatory organ for the insurance sector, the Commission said it recognises that its effectiveness depends largely on the professionalism, dedication, and well-being of its workforce.

Its clarification came against the backdrop of a protest within the premises by members of organised labour.

In a statement issued by the Commission, it said that since the assumption of the current leadership in the office, NAICOM continues to take deliberate steps to improve working conditions and enhance staff welfare.

“These efforts include strengthening internal processes, providing a supportive and enabling work environment, and promoting a workplace culture built on fairness, productivity, mutual respect, and accountability.

Staff welfare remains a key priority of the Commission.

In recent years, noticeable progress has been made in areas such as training and capacity development, career growth, workplace improvements, and performance-based advancement.

These initiatives reflect NAICOM’s commitment to building a skilled, motivated, and results-driven workforce aligned with its strategic goals”, NAICOM explains in a statement issued by Mallam Abba Halilu.

It said the commission operates a transparent and merit-based human resource system in full compliance with public service rules and applicable regulatory frameworks.

“Promotion exercises are conducted strictly in line with due process and are based on clear, objective, and verifiable criteria. All staff are treated equally, with no room for favouritism or bias.

The Commission also places high importance on discipline, integrity, and positive working relationships across all levels. NAICOM remains committed to fostering a work environment guided by equity, transparency, and nondiscrimination in all engagements and decisions.

Management remains open to constructive dialogue and engagement”.
