While emphasising the importance of the IICC collaboration with members of NAIPE and the rationale behind the IICC media retreat, Igbiti said, “The crucial position the media plays in the economy and society at large cannot be over emphasised. Indeed, the media poses as a veritable authority for agenda setting, public education, sensitisation and awareness creation.
“It is in the light of the above, that the theme for this retreat ‘Media as catalyst for insurance inclusion’, comes to limelight. The media is a powerful catalyst for social change and equally an effective tool for insurance inclusion that the industry desires.JAMB Result
