Governor Simon Bako Lalong has praised the Plateau State-born police officer CSP Daniel Itse Amah who was recently honored by ICPC for rejecting a $200,000 bribe from robbers.

This was made known in a statement by the Director of Press and Public Affairs to the Governor of Plateau State, Dr. Makut Simon Macham on Thursday 6th October 2022.

CSP Daniel Itse Amah, an indigene of Jos East local government area of Plateau State, joined the Nigerian Police Force as a Cadet Inspector in 2002 and is currently serving as a Divisional Police Officer (DPO) in Bompai Police Station in the Nasarawa local government area of Kano State.

He is said to have rejected the bribe in the course of investigating a robbery matter which was reported to the Police Division in Kano State where he was the DPO.

Governor Lalong while congratulating the officer for his honesty and patriotism to reject the temptation to participate in corruption and conceal the crime, said he has made his family, Plateau State, and Nigeria proud with his actions.

Lalong said he was not surprised because the action of CSP Itse is in tandem with the Plateau spirit of diligence, honesty, patriotism, and hard work.

While urging him to keep the spirit and also continue to mentor others, the Governor said by this singular act, the career of the officer is very bright in his quest to serve the nation.

He also urges other officers and Nigerians in all sectors to emulate the exemplary conduct of CSP Itse which is one of the tonics that Nigeria requires to be transformed.

BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—West Africa’s leading insurance and technology conference, Insurance Meets Tech (IMT), will return for its fifth anniversary edition on Thursday, 18th September 2026, at the Balmoral Convention Centre, Sheraton Hotel in Ikeja, Lagos.

Created by the strategic communications agency Creato Urban, the flagship event has evolved since its 2021 debut into a critical cross-industry platform designed to accelerate digital transformation, boost customer acquisition, and foster collaboration across the regional insurance landscape.

This year’s milestone event, themed “Building Insurance That Connects,” marks a fundamental shift in the industry’s digital evolution.

Rather than debating the theoretical benefits of technology, IMT 5.0 will focus strictly on the practical embedding of cutting-edge solutions into everyday insurance products, regulatory processes, and customer experiences. Convener Odion Aleobua emphasized that the conference comes at a critical juncture for a newly reformed and recapitalized insurance sector.

The core objective of IMT 5.0 is to bridge the existing gaps between technological innovation and consumer trust, ensuring that ambitious digital ideas translate into tangible impact and genuine financial inclusion for the people they are designed to serve.

To address these pressing integration challenges, the convention will bring together an interconnected ecosystem of founders, CEOs, domain experts, policymakers, and customers.

Attendees can expect a high-impact agenda featuring keynote presentations, technology showcases, and panel discussions dedicated to the forces reshaping African insurance.

The dialogue will directly confront the realities of deployment—moving from isolated concepts to collaborative, market-ready solutions driven by artificial intelligence, digitization, and customer-centric product design to define the future of the continent’s insurance landscape.
