PROTOCOLS
Ladies and gentlemen, captains of industry and distinguished stakeholders of the insurance industry. It is with a deep sense of pride and fulfillment that I welcome you all to the 2021 Graduation and Fellowship Awards Ceremony of our great Institute.
Since its conception, the Institute’s professional examinations have served as a springboard for outstanding practitioners to launch and distinguish themselves into the core of the insurance industry.
On behalf of the Members of the Governing Council and the Institute’s Secretariat, I would like to say congratulations to the inductees and awardees here present and also our international graduands, we have six (6) from Cameroon, three (3) from the Gambia and one (1) from Rwanda.
This is no mean feat and should give you joy and a sense of achievement. The professional qualifications are a source of pride to the Institute and all its members. Today, I welcome you to the prestigious club of Insurance Professionals.
It is extremely important to point out that by attaining our professional qualification, you have become custodians of the ethics and codes of practice of our noble profession. The purpose of the Institute’s code of ethics is to set forth the values, principles and standards that will guide the conduct of all insurance practitioners. As lifetime ambassadors of the Insurance practice, I urge you to uphold this creed and replicate all that it represents in your endeavors. Who you are and the principles you uphold are some of the things that make you stand out as a leader and a truly successful professional.
The completion of the Institute’s examination and your induction as an Associate of the Institute is actually the beginning of your quest for knowledge. To be successful, you have to use each day as an opportunity to improve, to be better, and to get a little bit closer to your goals. It might sound like a lot of work, but the best part is, the more you accomplish, the more you’ll want to do more and the higher you’ll want to reach. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail”. As long as you have the hunger for success, you will always have the power within you to achieve it. I urge you not to relent in developing yourselves in order to stay relevant in the dynamic business world of today and in the future. Ensure that take advantage of the Mandatory Continuous Professional Development (M.C.P.D) programmes offered by the Institute in addition to other post-qualification training courses.
Please note that that all certificates issued by the Institute remain the Institute’s property and could be withdrawn from the holders if the Institute has good reasons to do so. Please note that a further reason for such withdrawal of certificates could emanate from acts unexpected of a holder of the Institute’s professional qualification and unethical behavior. This policy remains in force. It is my hope that there will not be an occasion where the institute is required to do so.
We aware of the ever-changing demands of the dynamic business environment and I can assure you that considerable effort is being put in by the Institute to remain relevant to the modern-day professional as a leading light to Insurance practitioners in the country and beyond it. Ultimately the goal is to ensure that Insurance practitioners retain the competitive edge that will see them perform at optimal levels in order to tackle the current challenges in the business landscape and to stand out successfully.
The coming April 2022 diet will see the complete transition into the New Syllabus all the examination stages has been completely on boarded and revised. The goal is to ensure that Insurance practitioners retain the competitive edge and are well equipped to perform to optimal levels in order to tackle the current challenges in the business landscape and to stand out successfully.

Ladies and Gentlemen, in all we do, our job is to bridge the divide and make a difference in our industry for the growth of our country. The Insurance industry is undergoing a revolution and our ability to dig in and dig deep during this defining period will ensure that we are not swept away by the turn of events.
I would like to appreciate and welcome our guests who have made great efforts to be with us for the duration of this ceremony and once again I would like to convey the warmest wishes and the congratulations of our Council to all awardees and graduands.
Thank you for your attention.
