Incoming CITN President To Evolve Insurance Education Through Tech

The incoming president of the Chartered Institute of Nigeria (CITN), Yetunde Ilori has disclosed that her administration will focus on ‘Evolving Education Through Technology,’ as part of her Four-Point Agenda in office.

The world, she said, “is undergoing a digital revolution, and the insurance industry is no exception. There is a critical need to bridge the knowledge gap about insurance. We must move beyond simple awareness campaigns and empower the public with real education.”

Speaking at the Pre-Investiture Media Parley at the institute’s secretariat in Ebute-Metta, Lagos yesterday, Ilori noted that technology is key to reaching new audiences, promising to leverage existing channels and institutions to deliver insurance education outside the industry.

Vowing to ‘Transform Learning within the Industry’, she said: “For our members, we will embrace e-learning. Partnerships with established platforms will provide convenient and engaging learning experiences. Imagine preparing for exams with a whole new approach, one that is effective and enjoyable.”

Her administration, she disclosed, will be ‘Building Expertise through Partnerships’ as there would be executive training opportunities for the initiative, saying, ‘by partnering with reputable institutions, both local and international, we will offer certification programs that elevate professional skills.’

Promising the Highest Standards of Professionalism, she said, she will ensure discipline and professionalism, adding that, “Maintaining the highest ethical standards is paramount. We will ensure strict adherence to our code of conduct. We embark on sensitisation, where every professional will know the demands of the certificate he or she holds.”

Giving her mandate, she said, CIIN will be synonymous with excellence as it will actively promote the value it brings to the industry and society at large.

“We will strive to make the CIIN qualification as prestigious as those offered by the other institutes. Our goal is to make insurance the first-choice career path for talented individuals. A rigorous review of the Fellowship assessment process will ensure it continues to meet the highest global standards.

“We are committed to offering exceptional educational programs that are continuously improved to meet the evolving needs of the industry. We will address any capacity gaps within the Institute itself, ensuring we have the resources to deliver on our ambitious goals,” she pointed out.
