Insurance Operators Plead For Media Support

Published

on

The Corporate Affairs Managers’ Committee of the NIA (CAMCONIA) has pleaded with the media organisations to support the growth and sustainability of the insurance industry in Nigeria.

The Chairman of CAMCONIA, Oyinkansola Sobande, made this call at the committee’s bi-monthly meeting held with the Executive Members of the National Association of Insurance and Pension Correspondents (NAIPCO), representing both the print and electronic media in the country.

She stated that “the role of the media as watchdog in the society cannot be undermined especially in matters that is in the interest of the general populace. She added that “the media is very critical to the development and sustenance of the insurance industry, considering the fact that there are a lot of challenges facing the sector which are being addressed by stakeholders and business owners in the sector”.

At a point like this, the media as the objective watchdog has a vital role to play in helping to build and reinvigorate the confidence of the insuring public towards the sector.

She further appealed to the media to rescind on exposing damaging reports discrediting underwriters, pointing out that such acts can adversely affect the industry.
Oyinkansola also mentioned that “businesses, at some point in time, faces one form of challenges or the other and that what some of the players are facing currently, is not peculiar to the insurance industry alone, therefore, journalists are required to support positive projection of the industry. The responsibility of the media in this regard is quite phenomenal and must be carried out with astute professionalism.”

She commended the efforts of all the insurance correspondents in the country, saying their intervention in reporting insurance news and happenings is quite commendable, even as she added that more can still be done in pushing the frontiers of the industry.
In the same vein, the Director General of the Nigerian Insurers Association, Mrs. Yetunde Ilori posited that what the industry need more than ever is acceptability and patronage from all strata of the society; both at the Corporate and Individual level and that can only come with a better understanding of the workings of the insurance business which unfortunately, a lot of Nigerians do not have. The education on insurance can never be enough at this point in time. “We must move away from the level of assumptions to that of informed opinion and ultimately, acceptance”.

She said a lot of promotion and advertisement are ongoing by many insurance companies, both on the Electronic and Print Media, to engender sensitization and awareness of insurance in the country for a robust and holistic enlightenment of the insuring public.

The Chairman of NAIPCO solicited the support of member companies and active involvement of the association while pledging the unflinching support of NAIPCO towards ensuring that the Industry is presented in the best light possible to the general public.

Leadway Health HMO has been honoured with the Health Maintenance Organisation (HMO) of the Year award at the Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards (NHEA) for the third consecutive year.
This achievement affirms Leadway Health HMO’s position as a consistent leader in delivering innovative, accessible, and customer-focused healthcare solutions across Nigeria. Leadway Health HMO set a new record, one that has never been achieved in the 15-year history of the NHEAwards.
The award, presented in Lagos recently, 2025, celebrates the organisation’s excellence in service delivery, technology integration, unmatched service delivery, and its expanding provider network.
Speaking on this achievement, Chief Executive Officer, Leadway Health HMO, Dr. Tokunbo Alli, stated, “Receiving the HMO of the Year award for the third consecutive year is a deeply meaningful milestone for us at Leadway Health HMO. It is more than an accolade; it is a resounding validation of our commitment to transforming healthcare delivery in Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large.
“In a country where fewer than one in ten people have access to health insurance, we recognise the immense responsibility we carry. Through our investment in digital innovation, operational efficiency, and inclusive health plans, we are not only improving access to quality care but also setting new benchmarks for service excellence within the industry. This recognition reflects the trust our customers place in us and the unwavering dedication of our team and partners who make our vision a reality every day.”
Alli added, “We will continue to scale our hospital partnerships, enhance claims transparency, and leverage technology to deliver even more accessible, affordable, and customer-centric healthcare solutions. This award strengthens our resolve to be at the forefront of Nigeria’s health transformation journey—driving meaningful change, one life at a time.”

The Nigerian Healthcare Excellence Awards, founded in 2014 by Global Health Project and Resources in collaboration with Anadach Group USA, is the industry’s most respected recognition platform. This year’s edition was themed “Collaborating for Impact: Strengthening Health Systems through the SWAP Approach”, emphasising unified efforts to drive change.

NAICOM Charges Operators To Ignite Nationwide Conversation About Power Of Insurance

Published

By

The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has enjoined insurance operators to ensure that they ignite a nationwide conversation about the power of insurance as the inaugural edition of Insurance Week holds across the country.

The Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive of NAICOM, Olusegun Omosehin who spoke in Lagos on Monday, affirmed that the Insurance Week is designed to raise national awareness about the vital role of insurance in Nigeria’s growth and development.

To truly secure Nigeria’s future, he pointed out that “we must educate the public on the benefits of insurance, develop products that meet the needs of all Nigerians, wnsure prompt and transparent claims processing, as well as invest in talent and technology to drive innovation and trust.

At NAICOM, he said the regulatory body is committed to building a strong, inclusive, and globally respected insurance industry, and has been driving reforms to strengthen consumer protection, promote digital innovation, ensure capital adequacy and sound governance, while expanding access to underserved communities.

On why insurance matters, he stated that “In today’s fast-changing world, risks are everywhere—economic shocks, natural disasters, health crises, and more” adding that these uncertainties can disrupt lives and derail national progress.

“Insurance is our shield. It helps individuals, businesses, and governments manage these risks, recover from losses, and build resilience.
Without insurance, your economy would be more vulnerable, and our people less secure. That’s why this year’s theme, “Insurance for All: Securing Nigeria’s Future,” is both timely and essential” he emphasised.

Omosehin maintained that “The future of Nigeria depends on how well we manage risk. Every decision—whether by individuals, businesses, or government—carries uncertainty. Insurance provides the tools to navigate these uncertainties and protect our collective future.”

The NAICOM boss further urged the nsurance operators to renew their commitment to building an industry that serves the people and supports national development and use every platform—media, schools, communities, and workplaces—to spread the message that insurance is not a luxury; but a necessity.
