Musa, who said this at a news briefing in Lagos, stated that the N224 billion claims paid represented 44 per cent of the total premium.

He said that the association would continue to complement the efforts of National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) in its campaign on domestication of compulsory insurance in states.

“It is our expectation that laws on compulsory insurance can be domesticated in other states just as Lagos State has done.

“Beyond the efforts of the Commission, NIA has also upscaled its market development initiatives through strategic engagements with various states,” he said.

According to Musa, discussion is ongoing between NIA, NAICOM, Nigerian Shippers Council, Project IT Vendor-BrandOne and all other stakeholders in the maritime value chain on provision of cover for containers.

He said : “the stakeholders also include Shippers/ Importers , Clearing Agents, Track Owners, Guild of Marine Surveyors, PRAN and Tracking Companies.

“This will be a risk management substitute for container deposits being made by the importer to the shipping companies, thereby eliminating capital flight from the country.”
