NCRIB to builders: Embrace Insurance
The Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) has urged professionals in built industry to embrace insurance.
Its President, Rotimi Edu made this call at a lecture entitled: “Insurance for architect and professionals”, during last month’s Business Meeting of the Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) in Lagos.
Edu, who was the guest speaker at the meeting of the institute, however, sought the enforcement of the laws to put contractors on their toes..
He said: “There were many buildings across the country that were not proper and fit for human habitation. We appeal to all relevant agencies which include both the Federal and State Fire Services to act in accordance with the law and clamp down on such buildings.”
Also, the Chairman, NIA, David Majekodunmi, blamed the incessant building collapse on relevant government agencies that were not seen doing what they ought to do.
Majekodunmi lamented that government had not been seen implementing several recommendations of panel of enquiries raised to address the menace of building collapse.
He stressed that most of the building collapses were basically negligence by professionals, clients and workers, who would have been brought to book and serve as deterrent to others if the government implanted the recommendation submitted by the panel.
