CAMCONIA Chairman Solicits Partnership With Media

The Newly elected Chairman of Corporate Affairs Managers Committee of the Nigerian Insurers Association (CAMCONIA), Mr Segun Bankole, has solicited the cooperation, support and partnership with the media especially members of the Nigerian Association of Insurance and Pension Editors (NAIPE) with CAMCONIA to achieve its mandate.

The CAMCONIA Chairman who is also the Deputy General Manager, Corporate Communications & Investor Relations, Sovereign Trust Insurance Plc, made the appeal during a special hangout with NAIPE executives and select members of the association in Lagos at the weekend.

“I need the media community to make me excel, make the industry shine. That is basically what prompted my decision that let me have a hang-out with my people. Thank you all for the collaboration and partnership over the years. I joined Sovereign Trust Insurance in 2007, and from then till now you guys have not for one day let me down. I just said, in a very convivial way, not all about work and work, let us have time to also relax, and share very lovely moments and that is basically why we are here, “he said.

NAIPE members also spoke on the attitude of some Corporate Communication Managers of some insurance companies whom they said have turned themselves to ‘Semi-gods’ even refusing to answer their calls or respond to text messages.

They urged CAMCONIA leadership to talk to their members about the need for them to see themselves as gateway/liaison officers to journalists not the other way.
