NAICOM had granted financial supports to Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Lagos State University, University of Uyo, IMT Enugu, Niger Delta University and Evans Ewerem University, among others.
This, according to the head of Communication of the Commission, Abudul Rasaaq Salami, is aimed at instilling insurance knowledge and understanding among the younger generation and thereby deepening insurance education.
Salami said that NAICOM is committed in promoting financial literacy through the introduction of Micro insurance, takaful insurance, and agricultural insurance policies as a vehicle for meeting the needs of the masses.
