Gombe State Government has called on the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) to establish its branch in the state in order to bring insurance closer to the people.
The Deputy Governor Charles Iliya, made the request when the Commissioner of Insurance, Mohammed Kari and management team of NAICOM paid a courtesy visit to his office yesterday in Gombe, Gombe State.
He also pledged to take the commission’s request for the domestication of compulsory insurance to the governor, whilst pledging to collaborate with NAICOM in the enforcement of insurance laws in the state.
Kari, demanded from the State Government to incept the process of domesticating compulsory insurance laws. He also seek the Governor’s support and collaboration in the implementation and enforcement of compulsory insurance products across the State.
He noted that it is the intention of the commission to establish a mutually beneficial relationship with the state, stressing that while the collaboration will result in increased insurance penetration and written premium income for the industry, it will also create another veritable source of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the State Government.
