The Corporate Affairs Managers Committee of the Nigerian Insurers Association (CAMCONIA), the elite body of Brand, Marketing and Corporate Communications professionals in the Nigerian Insurance industry, is set to hold its annual Retreat from August 22 to 24, 2024 in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The Retreat, first in recent time, seeks to herald a new beginning for the Association.
A team of outstanding facilitators with demonstrated experience in Public Relations, Marketing Communications, Advertising Regulations and Human Resources have been shortlisted to deliver various papers on the theme: “Leading the Narrative: Shaping the future of our Industry”. They include Lara Yeku, Performance Coach and HR Expert who is also the Head of HR, Food Commercial Division, Flour Mills of Nigeria; Tope Adaramola, Public Speaker, PR professional and Executive Secretary, Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers of Nigeria (NCRIB); and Dr Lekan Fadolapo, Director General, Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria(ARCON).
Commenting on the event, Segun Bankole, Chairman, CAMCONIA, and Head of Corporate Communications and Investor Relations at Sovereign Trust Insurance, said: “Since the inauguration of the current CAMCONIA executives, there has been a remarkable upsurge and renewed interest amongst members in what we stand for. Our industry has been constantly faced with various wrong narratives, as professionals charged with telling the Nigerian insurance story, it is time we took the lead as we shape the overall perception of our industry. This is why this retreat could not have come at a better time. It is time to tell the right stories, stories of protection, trust, hope and belief in a beautiful today and a better tomorrow.”
The Director General of the Nigerian Insurers Association, NIA, Mrs. Adebola Odukale, urged participants at the forthcoming Retreat to ensure that they fashion out an enduring roadmap in promoting the insurance industry while at the same time, make it a pride to behold in the comity of financial institutions in the country.
The 2-day event will hold at the Park Inn Hotel, Abeokuta, Ogun State. In addition to robust engagements with the facilitators, activities lined up for the CAMCONIA Retreat include but not limited to the following, excursion to the popular Olumo Rock, the Adire Market, Aerobics sessions while a black tie Gala and Awards Night rounds off the event.
