“You should do more in insuring the people on their jobs. There are job loss and those involved expect that something needs to be done to mitigate the negative effect of such,’’ Ajimobi said.

The governor, who was represented by Alhaji Olalekan Alli, Secretary to the State Government, said that it was essential for the institute to make its services more affordable and relevant.

He called on the institute to partner the state government on employment generation, adding that there were so many unemployed youths in the state.

Ajimobi said that the administration was more willing and committed to partnering professional associations to create conducive atmosphere for businesses to thrive.

Babington-Ashaye lauded the achievements of the governor since his assumption of office in spite of the lean resources of the state.

The CIIN president said that the visit was aimed at opening new frontiers and to strengthen relationship between the state government and the institute.

She said that the role of the Institute was to determine the standard and skills required for ethical and professional delivery of insurance services in Nigeria.

Babington-Ashaye said the institute had embarked on the promotion of insurance education and creation of awareness as part of its strategic effort to unlock the huge potential of the industry.

“We will continue to take deliberate steps to enlighten the public about the invaluable benefits of insurance, introduce initiatives aimed at repositioning the industry as well as contribute to the nation’s GDP.

“To achieve this, we are desirous of partnering with the state government and corporate entities,’’ she said.
