Lagos: In partnership with Training Heights, the Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA) has trained over 80 Chief Information Officers and senior IT professionals in global IT standards.
This is contained in a statement on Monday by Mrs Joke Adeyemi, Head of Corporate Communications at the NIA.
The training, which aimed to improve technical competence, took place in two sessions on May 31 and June 14.
It covered international standards such as ISO 27001 (Information Security Management), ISO 20000 (IT Service Management), and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity Management).
Mrs Bola Odukale, Director-General of the NIA, said the initiative promotes digital resilience, innovation, and secure IT governance within the insurance sector.
She noted that the training supports the theme of the current NIA Chairman’s administration: ‘Digital Disruption and Social Innovation: Reshaping Our Traditional Models.’
She said the programme was created to upskill participants and advance the association’s digital transformation agenda.
She urged attendees to take advantage of this opportunity to manage information systems securely and efficiently in today’s digital age.
“This marks a major step toward a digitally empowered insurance industry ready to face new challenges with innovation and trust,” Odukale added.
Dr Olumide Orlando, CEO of Training Heights and a well-known expert in IT standards and compliance, led the sessions.
Participants included Chief Digital Officers, Heads of IT, and other technology leaders from NIA member companies.
