Nigeria's leading business platform is set to hold the first of
its webinar series, themed "Building Financial Resilience with Insurance
Solutions Amid COVID-19".
With the COVID-19 disruption, households and small businesses need
to make efforts to transfer their risks to protect themselves from
uncertainties through insurance. The Nigerian Insurance Industry is a massive
industry covering various issues from fire to auto accidents, death, oil and
gas leakages, and so on.
They also provide insurance plans that cover households and
SMEs-the backbone of the Nigerian economy.
The webinar holding on Wednesday, March 31, 2021, will be
headlined by Ekerete Ola Gam-Ikon; who will deliver the keynote address. He is
the Founding CEO of Finterate Projects, a business-fitness consultancy firm and
Co-Founder, Smart Coach Global Nigeria Limited, a progressive community of
seasoned business coaches and brave entrepreneurs.
The webinar would provide answers and insights to questions such
as; How can small business owners benefit from insurance packages? In a highly
religious space like Nigeria, what can be done in tandem with faith to grow
insurance subscription? Are there any lessons to be drawn from the
COVID-19/#EndSARS saga? How effective has NAICOM been in harnessing and
projecting the insurance sector?
Mr David Oputah, the Managing Editor of BizWatch Nigeria, said the
motivation for the webinar series is to make it a part of the company’s
contribution to society and starting with the insurance industry is geared at promoting
financial flexibility, provision of insurance solutions and engage insurance
experts on the way forward for the sector.
Oputah also added that the webinar seeks to strengthen the
insurance sector, provide solutions and pave the way for subsequent webinars
which would feature other industrial sectors in Nigeria and contribute to
society on a great level.
The webinar is expected to attract stakeholders from both the
private and the public sectors, including the National Insurance Commission
(NAICOM), insurance experts from the various governing bodies of Insurance, Insurance
firms, insurance research institutes, policymakers, regulators and the Federal
Government of Nigeria.
Some of the panelists expected to feature in the webinar include:
