The Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) today unveiled first set of course books in its new curriculum to be used for the foundation stage in raising insurance professionals.
Its President Eddie Efekoha, at the launch of the books which are eight in number, in Lagos, said the books will be used for foundation stage of the Institutes exams F01 – F08, stressing that the books represent a body of work that will greatly stimulate the intellect of the modern day professional.
He noted that subsequently, the books for the other stages will be released to stakeholders for their use appropriately, adding that the total number of revised books to be released by the Institute are 27 and that considerable work has been put into ensuring that the idea came into fruition.
“Please permit me to point out that these publications are a product of the renewed relationship with the Chartered Insurance Institute, United Kingdom. After a careful review of their course-books in relation to their validity to the application of the modern day insurance practices, the Institute thought it appropriate to adopt their course-books for the use of our professionals.
“Subsequently necessary approvals were gotten from our sister Institute and most importantly, these books have gone through the painstaking process of domestication in order for them to be relevant to the Nigerian insurance Industry,” he said.
