There is a need to accommodate marine surveyors in marine underwriting, the Director-General of Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) Mrs. Yetunde Ilori, has said. This is because of the major role they play in marine insurance.
She stated this at the Second Monday Ogadina yearly memorial lecture organised by the Guild of Marine Surveyors in Lagos.
She spoke on the theme: ‘Championing professionalism and competence in effective service delivery’.
She said the NIA would continue to support the Guild to ensure that insurance potential in the marine sector were fully harnessed.
She charged the members of the Guild to be good ambassadors by living above board, esteeming professionalism and good competence while offering their services.
The President of Guild of Marine Surveyors, Wale Adetoro, said the lecture series is aimed at upholding the legacy of Ogadina’s contributions to the Guild, adding that Ogadina stood for excellence.
Adetoro said the Guild is made up of 63 corporate and 12 individual members and implores the public to patronise registered members to guarantee quality and effective service delivery.
He said: “We still have accommodation for more members. All you need to do is to visit our website, download our membership form, complete it and submit it to our secretariat or return it by mail.
“The membership committee will invite you for an interview and if admitted, you will pay the required joining fee and subscription. The Guild is known for professionalism, integrity, knowledge, efficiency and trust.
“We are working hard to equip and train members, especially as regards quality and effective service delivery. The list of the Guild’s members are on our website”, he added.
