Umbrella body of insurance brokers in Nigeria, the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers(NCRIB) has congratulated the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari and applauded the electoral process at the March 28 presidential election polls.

NCRIB, in a statement signed by its president , Mr. Ayodapo Shoderu, stated that the peaceful conduct of the election and emergence of a new President has paved the way for socioeconomic and political stability of Nigeria.

He also commended the incumbent President, Goodluck Jonathan for creating an enabling environment for further deepening of the democratic process, noting that he had by so doing, joined the prestigious league of the global statesmen and eminent fellows. Shoderu noted that the result of the election was already impacting positively on the economy, given the response of market forces to the political process. According to him, “there is an inextricable link between politics and economy and whatever affected one would definitely affect the other.”

He challenged the presidentelect to start giving serious thoughts to strategies for growing the nation’s economy through the provision of infrastructural development and creation of jobs in order to enhance quality lives for Nigerians and by so doing increase their disposable income.Shoderu further stated that since no economy could develop without taken into cognizance the place of insurance and risk management, the in- coming government must see to it that insurance is given its pride of place in all strata of government operations. In another development, the council has commiserated with victims of the recent Balogun market fire incident where properties worth millions of naira were destroyed.
