Mr Dawda Sarge |
Mr
Dawda Sarge, managing director of Prime Insurance Company Limited, has been
installed as the new president of the West African Insurance Companies
Association (WAICA) for one year (2012/2013), succeeding Mr Fatai Lawal, a Nigerian.
Mr
Sarge’s investiture was held on Tuesday during the closing dinner of the of the
two-day annual general meeting and educational conference of WAICA, which
brought together about 200 insurance professionals from all over West Africa,
held at the Kairaba Beach Hotel in Kololi from 16 - 17 April 2012.
Dressed
in traditional African fabric, Getzener Bazin, Mr Sarge took the prescribed
oath of office pledging to discharge his duties faithful to the best of his ability and in accordance with the Constitution
of WAICA and law.
Shortly
after taking the oath, before the WAICA executive committee members and the
general membership, as well as family members and well-wishers, Mr Sarge said:
“I wish to thank my colleagues in the Gambia insurance industry especially the
executive committee members of the association (Insurance Association of the
Gambia) for your magnanimity and confidence which you demonstrated by
nominating me into the (WAICA) executive and as the president for 2012 – 2013.”
“I
also like to thank the chairman and board of directors of my company for
endorsing my nomination and I equally look forward to their support,
understanding and patience during this period.”
Mr
Sarge, who is also the president of the Insurance Association of the Gambia,
acknowledged and salutes his predecessor, the immediate past president of
WAICA, Mr Lawal, “for a successful tenure and for a job well done”.
He
said Mr Lawal has laid a solid platform for him to build up and consolidate.
Mr
Sarge pointed out that the theme of his presidency is basically to increase the
membership of WAICA and “this we hope to achieve by involving the local
industry association”. He said as a
membership base organization, raising the profile of WAICA becomes key for the
institution to achieve its goal.
He
explained: “What I am referring to here
is that since it’s the WAICA objective is to increase its membership in order
to maximize revenue, high on my agenda, however, is to consolidate and enhance
the good work of the [WAICA] executive by increasing membership of the
association so as to have the much needed revenue to sustain the activities and
operations of the association.”
Broadening
membership of WAICA will provide a vehicle for interactions and formation of
alliances that would strengthen the region in the global competitive economy.
Speaking
earlier, Mr Lawal, the immediate past president of WAICA, said: "It is already one year and it’s time to hand
the mantle of leadership of our association to a brother and a friend, Mr Dawda
Sarge of The Gambia.”
“I
feel highly honoured and fulfilled for the opportunity of leading our
association in the last one year. I am
particularly grateful to God for His mercies, and to members of the executive
committee, and the entire membership of the association for making it possible
for us to accomplish our set goals.”
He
thanked the executive committee of WAICA for the support given to him during
his tenure as the president while urging them to give similar support to his
successor.
Mr
Lawal noted that during his tenure, the membership of the association has increase
and was also able to generate greater interest in the association’s activities
among members and non-members.
“I
am happy, pleased and proud to take bow and handover our association to a
worthy successor, Mr Dawda Sarge,” Mr Laway said as he handover the medal of presidency of
WAICA to Mr Sarge. “I belief Mr Sarge
will work harder to take our association to a greater heights.”
The
WAICA presidency rotates among the English-speaking countries of West Africa –
The Gambia, Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Ghana – that founded WAICA in
1973. The presidency of the association is

association for that year. Since the

I was wondering if you ever considered changing
ReplyDeletethe page layout of your site? Its very well written;
I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it
better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
