Represented by Mr. Akinbola Akintola, Head of the Research Department at PenOp, Aguda articulated the critical role that public perception plays in the success of these vital sectors.
He argued that without a strong foundation of trust and confidence, the growth of these industries would be severely hampered, which, in turn, would impede the nation’s overall economic prosperity.
Aguda’s call to action resonated with operators in both sectors. He urged them to embark on concerted efforts to enhance their public image, emphasizing that a renewed sense of confidence among the public is fundamental for growth and progress.
In his address, Aguda underscored the interconnectedness of the insurance and pension sectors with the broader economy.

Therefore, addressing the issue of public confidence is not only a matter of sectoral importance but also a crucial driver for the country’s economic well-being.
Aguda’s message served as a stark reminder of the pivotal role trust plays in the financial world. It served as a rallying cry for operators to prioritize the restoration of public confidence in the insurance and pension sectors, recognizing that their success is intricately tied to the nation’s economic prosperity and stability.
