Mutfwang Pledges Legal Reforms, Stronger Legislative-Executive Synergy in Plateau
Plateau State Governor, Barr. Caleb Mutfwang, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to reforming existing laws and strengthening the state’s legal framework in partnership with the Office of the State Attorney General.
Declaring open a three-day capacity-building workshop for members of the Plateau State House of Assembly at the Miango Rest Home in Bassa LGA, the governor said the reforms would boost governance while unlocking opportunities in tourism, economic growth, security, and mineral resource development to complement federal efforts.
The workshop, themed “Improving Service Delivery through Effective and Complementary Legislative Interventions,” is designed to equip lawmakers with the skills, insights, and technical expertise needed for impactful, people-oriented legislative work.
Mutfwang underscored the need for continuous training to keep lawmakers updated on modern legislative practices, commending the cordial working relationship between his administration and the 10th Assembly as vital to delivering tangible benefits for Plateau citizens. He urged legislators to seize the workshop as a “golden opportunity” to sharpen skills, broaden perspectives, and adopt innovative governance approaches.
Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Naanlong Daniel Gapyil, thanked the governor for his support and pledged the Assembly’s readiness to collaborate with the Executive on all matters requiring legislative action. He described the workshop as a platform to share ideas, address challenges, and improve legislative output.
In his goodwill message, former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Simon Mwadkon, praised the initiative and urged lawmakers to sustain cooperation with the Executive for the overall good of the state.
BY NKECHI NAECHE-ESEZOBOR—The Founder and Executive Chairman of Baywood Holdings Limited, Emperor Chris Baywood Ibe, has praised the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) for encouraging innovation and digital growth within the country’s financial services sector.
Speaking in Lagos, the Baywood founder, noted that the regulator’s forward-thinking approach recognizes digital ecosystems as the primary pathway to deepening insurance penetration and expanding access across Nigeria.
The commendation follows the recent deployment of an operational web aggregator license granted by NAICOM to CBI Partnering Insurtech Limited, a subsidiary of Baywood Holdings.
According to Ibe, this regulatory approval directly aligns with the Federal Government’s newly assented insurance policy, which is aimed at driving comprehensive financial inclusion through digital transformation.
He revealed that the company invested over a year into building a robust technological infrastructure before securing final regulatory approval.
Ibe stated that while the licensing process was stringent to acquire, it served as the final piece of the puzzle for the firm.
He emphasized that long before receiving the official nod, the company had invested heavily in building the technology and preparing for scale, operating on the principle that operational readiness must always precede market recognition.
Operating strictly as a technology-driven marketplace rather than a traditional insurance underwriter, CBI Partnering Insurtech plans to leverage its web aggregator status to bridge the gap between conventional insurance providers and the uninsured public.
The highly scalable platform is web-based, app-driven, and API-ready, specifically engineered to integrate insurers, Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), corporate entities, SMEs, and individual retail consumers into a single, unified digital ecosystem.
