Security Agents Gets Handsets Soon – NIA

The Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) is yet to deploy mobile handsets to law enforcement agents to give them access to the Nigerian Insurance Industry Database.

NIA Corporate Affairs Manager, Mr Davis Iyasere, confirmed this to newsmen in Lagos recently.

He said that the handsets would be presented to the law enforcement agents publicly.

“No phone has been given out. We are looking for convenient date to make public presentation of the mobile handsets to the security agents,” he said.

According to him, the association is working tirelessly to ensure that the presentation is done as it will aid the agents to know the status of any insurance policy at any given time.

The handsets are to enable the law enforcement agents get access to the database using the registration number of a vehicle.

The NIID was launched on June 26 before the exit of Mr Olusola Oladipo-Ajayi as NIA President.

During the launch, the association promised that about 500,000 mobile handsets would be given to law enforcement agents nationwide.
