Managing Director of the NDIC, Hassan Bello, made the call during a courtesy visit by the Governing Council of the professional body, led by its President, Innocent Iweka Okwosa, in Abuja. The NDIC boss noted that incorporating DIS courses into the ICAN training programmes would enhance its understanding within the banking sector and among professional accountants.
Hassan stressed the significance of public awareness in maximizing the impact and reach of the deposit insurance system throughout the general public and the financial sector as a whole. He said, ‘‘Given the novel nature of the scheme in Nigeria and globally, collaboration with ICAN and other stakeholders had become imperative to strengthen the effectiveness of the Corporation’s operations to implement its mandate.
