NAICOM Reaffirms Commitment to Staff Welfare Amid Unsuccessful Protest Attempt

By Linda Ike

The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has reiterated its dedication to high labour standards, staff welfare, and a transparent workplace culture, following an earlier failed attempt by some individuals to challenge leadership through external protests.

In a statement on Monday, NAICOM emphasised that its success hinges on a professional, dedicated staff.

LUnder current leadership, the Commission has enhanced working conditions with:
Strengthened internal processes and a supportive environment.
Focus on fairness, productivity, mutual respect, and accountability.
Advances in training, capacity building, career progression, workplace upgrades, and performance-based promotions.

The regulator operates a merit-based HR system compliant with public service rules, ensuring promotions follow objective criteria without favoritism or bias. Discipline, integrity, and positive relationships remain core values, alongside equity and non-discrimination.

Management urged staff to use established channels for communication and dispute resolution, avoiding actions that disrupt operations or erode public trust.

NAICOM pledged ongoing investments in welfare, development, and excellence to meet global standards and its mandate in Nigeria’s insurance sector.

It stated that earlier today, certain individuals tried to undermine leadership through external actors, but the effort failed. Disciplined staff rejected unfounded claims, restoring normalcy swiftly.

All operations continue uninterrupted, upholding professionalism and accountability.
