The Commissioner for Insurance Mr. Olusegun Omosehin, made this the kennel of the 21st Insurers Committee Meeting held yesterday in Lagos. He emphasised that this upgraded system approach to insurance service would depend on deeper collaboration among insurers, banks, fintechs, and regulatory institutions, underpinned by forward-looking policy and regulatory frameworks.
The meeting, a hybrid of the broader financial services ecosystem focused on strengthening cross-sector collaboration to build a more resilient, inclusive, and innovation-driven insurance industry in Nigeria.
