Strong, value-driven leadership has emerged as a critical factor in strengthening professionalism and rebuilding public confidence in Nigeria’s insurance industry, as stakeholders reflect on Yetunde Ilori, immediate past president of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN)’s transformational impact.
Industry leaders, who spoke at Ilori’s valedictory ceremony in Lagos, said her two-year tenure demonstrated how purposeful leadership can reposition institutions for sustainable growth by investing in education, ethics, capacity building and public engagement.
