THE Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) has inducted 66 individuals and 18 corporate new members into its associate position.
In a welcome address marking a significant milestone in the careers of the inductees, the President of the NCRIB, Prince Babatunde Adeleke Oguntade, stressed the critical role Insurance Brokers play in bridging the gap between clients and insurers.
Oguntade underscored the importance of the inductees’ dedication to the continued growth and resilience of the economy, saying that their expertise and guidance were essential in times of need.
The President of NCRIB urged the new members to embody the highest standards of professionalism, ethics, and active engagement with the era of passivity behind them.

Oguntade emphasised the importance of active participation in the Council’s programmes and events, which attract Mandatory Compulsory Professional Development (MCPD) points, highlighting that this would not only enhance their personal and professional growth but also reinforce the strength of the Council.
Also, he encouraged the inductees to participate in international events, such as those organised by the African Insurance Organization (AIO), and the British Insurance Brokers’ Association (BIBA), to broaden their exposure and network.
He pointed out that consistent moral and financial support from members was important to the Council’s sustained progress, entrusting the new members with the responsibility of carrying the torch forward, upholding the shared legacy, and shaping the future of the Broking profession.
