Ilori said:
“As I willingly, without coercion accept to be the 52nd President of the
Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria, the 8th woman to take on the role, I
know expectations are high. I am going to have to compete with myself to
surpass my achievements in my previous roles especially as the Director General
of NIA. I am coming on board at a time when economically it looks like the world
is coming down. We must come out of economic crisis a better industry than we
got in and there is real urgency to get this done. The industry in Nigeria has
no semblance of what we have in some developed climes.
“I must say
this is the 3rd time in the last two decades that enormous amount of money is
spent in charting a course to transform the industry. It is time to execute the
strategy, we all (all arms) have put together, and it should not be wasted. It
will be a shame to have someone from outside the industry to come and fix our
pieces together and give us the edifice we have always longed for.
“It is not
mere coincidence that I am appearing on the stage of life as part of the
orchestra that will be playing for now. I love the scripture that says “a wise
woman builds”, as a woman, I believe I am created to build and by His grace I
will.”
