NDIC Gets Best Award At Kaduna Trade Fair

The Nigeria Deposit In
surance Corporation (NDIC) says it has won the “Best Public Enlightenment Participant” award at the just concluded 35th Kaduna International Trade Fair.
The corporation announced this on Tuesday in a statement issued and signed by the Head, Corporate and Public Affairs Unit, Mr Hardi Birchi.
The statement said that the NDIC won the award after the assessment of its public enlightenment activities at the fair by the Kaduna Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture.
The statement quoted the corporation’s Managing Director, Alhaji Umaru Ibrahim, as saying that NDIC had adopted multi-faceted initiatives in its efforts to enhance public awareness on its mandate and activities.
Ibrahim said the corporation had been participating in major international trade fairs in the country since 2007 as part of its public awareness drive.
The statement listed such fairs as Kaduna, Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Niger Delta and Yenagoa international trade fairs.
It said the thrust of the corporation’s public awareness initiatives was to win public trust, appreciation and confidence through better understanding of its core mandate and activities.
The statement said the drive to achieve the aspiration was put on a higher pedestal in 2013 with a re-branding project embarked upon by the corporation.
It said the NDIC new slogan, “Protecting your Bank Deposits”, distinguished the corporation from conventional insurance companies.
The statement said that the NDIC’s re-branding initiative was not about change of logo and colours, but to distinguish the corporation for its qualitative service delivery to depositors and other stakeholders.
