“This programme is geared towards adding human resource to  the MTTD for the effective management of road traffic.

“It is my expectation that NSS personnel will better appreciate the police-citizen relationship and also get rid of the negative stereotype they have about the police service.

“In this 3-day training programme, participants will be educated on basic principles of insurance and the Motor Insurance Database (MID) to help check the menace of fake vehicle insurance stickers,” he remarked.

The 3-day orientation programme facilitated by the NIC, Ghana Insurance College (GIC) and MTTD,

on insurance and other aspects of road traffic regulations is supported by the NIC and facilitated by the Ghana Insurance College (GIC), borders on the basic principles of insurance and the MID which is of utmost relevance to the personnel deployed to ensure motor traffic regulations and safety on our roads.

In October 2020, the NIC launched and commenced the nationwide training of National Service Personnel posted to the MTTD.

This was further extended to cover other security agencies including the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) in the NIC’s insurance awareness creation drive.

The continuous training modules have the broad objective of creating insurance awareness and providing an avenue for all to develop an interest in a career in insurance.
