The Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) has sought the assistance of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in enforcing e-insurance certificates.
This call was made by the President of the insurance brokers, Mr Babatunde Oguntade, during a courtesy visit to the FRSC leadership.
Mr Oguntade, according to a statement, emphasised the importance of the FRSC’s support in ensuring the validity, currency, and other critical details of insurance certificates.
According to him, insurance brokers play a crucial role in ensuring that individuals and corporate entities receive maximum value from their insurance policies.
The NCRIB chief encouraged Nigerians to engage the services of registered insurance brokers, as many individuals who face issues with their insurance did not utilise the expertise of members of the organisation.
Mr Oguntade commended the FRSC for its efforts in reducing road risks and accidents nationwide, saying due to the activities of the agency, the number of deaths and injuries resulting from road mishaps had decreased.
The insurance brokers’ leader further stated that the FRSC’s operations had improved compliance with necessary automobile documentation, including third-party motor insurance, benefiting the insurance industry.
In response, Mr Victor Nwokolo, the Deputy Corps Marshal for Admin and Human Resources of FRSC, commended NCRIB and its members for providing the necessary insurance and risk management support to the Corps.
Mr Nwokolo assured that the FRSC would take stricter measures against those violating road regulations, including those within the insurance industry.
He pledged to collaborate with NCRIB on its proposed public sector training, focusing on enhancing the quality of manpower within the Corps.
