In a groundbreaking move, the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) and the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) have joined forces to transform the country’s insurance sector.

The Commissioner for Insurance/CEO of NAICOM, recently paid a courtesy visit to the MD/CEO of NSITF, Mr Oluwaseun Faleye, at the NSITF headquarters in Abuja.

The historic meeting marked the beginning of a collaborative effort to deepen insurance penetration, leverage the benefits of conventional and social insurance, and drive growth in the sector.

The two agencies recognized the vast potential of insurance in contributing to Nigeria’s national output and agreed to set up a joint committee to drive the collaboration.

The committee will focus on key areas, including data sharing and analytics, capacity building and training, awareness and advocacy, and compliance with insurance requirements.

By pooling their resources and expertise, NAICOM and NSITF aim to create a more vibrant and inclusive insurance ecosystem in Nigeria.

This partnership is a significant step forward for the insurance industry in Nigeria, and its impact is expected to be felt across the country.

With NAICOM’s regulatory expertise and NSITF’s social insurance mandate, the stage is set for a revolution in Nigeria’s insurance landscape.
