The Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN) has rolled out activities for the 2026 Insurance Week to build on the success story of Insurance Week 2025.
Mrs. Yetunde llori, the President/Chairman of Council of the CIIN said at a media engagement that the purpose of the annual insurance week remains to increase the awareness and penetration of insurance across the nation and demographics.
“We want everyone to be educated about insurance for financial stability and economic growth to counter the misconceptions out there about insurance. We cannot counter such misconceptions in our offices. The purpose also is to introduce insurance to the younger generation as well as develop talent for the nation and the West African region.”
llori listed some of the programmes for the week-long Insurance Week 2026 to include wellness and awareness walk; unveiling of two books on insurance for elementary schools; panel discussion by non-insurance persons on their perception of the industry; individual and corporate recognitions; appointment of industry ambassadors; engagement with schools and MSMEs and demo day for hackathon.
“We cannot do it alone. We appreciate the support of the media for the success of the first insurance week last year. We also need your support and engagement as partners in progress for the success of the 2026 edition. Last year was a great success. For instance, film makers requested for a special insurance product tailored to their business. The hackathon was also a great idea that brought inclusivity. And companies and micro-insurance agents recorded tremendous sales.”
The CIIN boss added that Insurance Week 2025 was unique because it brought the entire insurance together in terms of participation and funding.
“All the CIIN chapters will anchor the programme this year as a mark of improvement from the programme of 2025.”
