Following ongoing initiatives spearheaded by the Commissioner for Insurance, Mr. Olusegun Ayo Omosehin, the second meeting of the Insurance of Public Buildings and Buildings Under Construction Committee held yesterday (Tuesday) in Abuja.

In his remarks the Deputy Commissioner for Insurance, Mr. Ekerete Ola Gam-Ikon, who serves as the Committee Chairman, reminded the committee members representing various stakeholder institutions of the essence of the national assignment, and emphasized the need todevelop a methodology to ensure compliance with the insurance of public buildings and buildings under construction. This effort, he said, aims to enhance the uptake of insurance in these sectors.

Information gleaned from the meeting suggest that deliberations focused on identifying and exploring synergies with stakeholders, liaising with State Governors and Houses of Assembly to domesticate insurance laws for better compliance, researching similar policies in other jurisdictions, and sensitizing stakeholders on the importance of adherence to compliance with compulsory insurances.
