According to the ADVAN’s Executive Secretary, Mrs. Ediri Ose-Ediale said that the speaker would be speaking on insurance marketing without any predetermined topic. The 2014 edition was delivered by the Chairman, Silverbird Group and senator of the federal republic of Nigeria, Ben Murray Bruce. However this year marketing week comes up August 28, 2015.

Why insurance, she said “ADVAN members cut across the different Industries and sub-sectors in the Nigeria economy. The Insurance sector represents the backbone of Nigeria’s risk management system, ensures financial security, serves as an important component in the financial intermediation chain, and offers a ready source of long term capital for the infrastructure projects. The role of insurance in the growth and development of our economy cannot be over-emphasized.it mitigates the impact of risk and positively correlates to growth as entrepreneurs cover their exposures, otherwise risk-taking abilities are hampered. Thus, a strong and competitive insurance industry is a compelling imperative for Nigeria’s economic development and growth.

 

According to her “A speaker from the Insurance sector provides a unique opportunity for attendees to gain insights from the success of one of the respected indigenous Insurance companies in Nigeria today , its peculiar and unique marketing strategies that has allowed it to thrive even at the most precarious times in our nation. It will also afford the opportunity for the brains of the marketing industry to proffer more effective strategies to the marketing of insurance.”
