Insurance stakeholders must begin to transit practice and promote sustainable insurance as this is the future of the risk business in the country, experts said.

They added that, having a consolidated insurance industry effort championed by the regulator around sustainability is imminent.

The event, which was themed ‘Sustainable Insurance-Issues and Trends’, convened industry stakeholders that included; the regulator, insurers, brokers and loss adjusters where they  discussed issues and trends on sustainable insurance.

Speaking on the regulator’s technical perspective, the head, IT department, National Insurance Commission(NAICOM), Mr. AbiodunAribike, disclosed that, NAICOM is using Information Technology to drive sustainable insurance in the country.

Aribike stated that the commission, in partnership with the Financial Sector Deeping Africa (FSD) Africa, recently launched the Risk, Resilience and Regulatory Laboratory (R3Lab) in Lagos to ensure this purpose is achieved.

The initiative, he added, was aimed at mitigating the impact of specific challenges bedevilling the insurance regulatory environment in Nigeria as well as to explore ways in which collaboration, technology and insurance supervisory capacity building can improve the regulatory effectiveness of Africa’s insurance industry.

Similarly, the head, Retail Solutions, Axa Mansard, Mrs. RashidatAdebisi, emphasised the need for operators to start working on sustainability for the future by shifting their focus from investing in just oil revenues to gas, as gas is more sustainable.

“The world is currently shifting away from oil. We need to start investing in gas which is more sustainable and greener. We need to take actions on sustainable goals as this helps the environment to be save. I urge everyone here to start and lead the sustainable goals conversations in their various companies because sustainability is key”, she expressed.

Speaking on the broker’s perspective, AlhajiSaheedEgbeyemi of Hogg Robinson Nigeria Limited, noted that, opportunities abound for the sector to tap into and flourish but the issues of rate cutting and unhealthy competition have to be addressed.

He added that underwriters and brokers need to collaborate more to push the tenets of sustainable insurance.

On his part, the former president of the Institute of Loss Adjusters of Nigeria (ILAN), Mr. Ralph Opara, representing the loss adjusters, said, ILAN is doing a lot to ensure sustainability because the arm remains the life wire of the insurance value chain.

Speaking on the academic community perspective, the rector, College of Insurance and Financial Management (CIFM), Dr.YesideOyetayo, said ESG risks are now a criteria to determining a company that is sustainable, hence, trainings and programmes on sustainable risks need to be factored into the insurance industry academic curriculum and the industry needs to collaborate with other sectors.

Concluding the panel session, the managing director and the chairman of the occasion, Mr. Olusegun Omosehin, emphasised that, collaborations and innovation are the way to go for the industry as regards sustainability.

“Opportunities are before us as underwriters so we need to transition into green insurance so we can sustain the businesses and future of insurance in Nigeria”, he said.

Delivering his speech earlier, the president of CIIN, Sir MuftauOyegunle, said the event was a new and free programme of the CIIN focused on giving back to its members and the insurance community in general.

“The objective of this programme among other things is to bring all stakeholders from the different arms of the insurance industry together, to discuss the business environment and how it affects the operations of the sector as well as charting the way forward for insurance to thrive in the country,” he pointed out.
