INSURANCE
As Nigeria settles down to the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area, AFCFTA, the Federal Government, FG, is pushing for the full implementation of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, Brown Card Insurance Scheme to guarantee prompt compensation to victims of road accidents within ECOWAS member states.
Making this known at the inauguration of Mr. Ganiyu Musa as the Chairman of Council of Bureaux, ECOWAS Brown Card Insurance Scheme, in Abuja yesterday, Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, noted that the existence of the scheme and its effective implementation will stimulate integration of the West African regional block preparatory to the full implementation of AfCFTA subscribed to by most ECOWAS countries.
