BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
“Risk is a phenomenon which has been in existence since
the beginning of the world. Risk exists whenever the future is unknown” (Lemon
1989: 17). This means that the word implies some element of doubt about future
and the outcome may be worse than what it had been at the moment. This man in
his daily operations could be viewed as a risk manager, in that man does his
best possible to reduce, eliminate, avoid, retain or share risk where they are
present.
Tough there were some forms of risk management
before the advent of insurance companies in
In 1921, the Royal Exchange Assurance Company was
established and it was the first insurance company to open full branch in
The secondary
function of insurance companies includes:
1.
Provision of
loans for building on the security of a life policy.
2.
Encourage and
promote commercial enterprise men and industrialist
The accumulated sum of money by insurer
re invested to state approved securities and this helps to provide the state
with a steady flow investment funds with which the state can provide development
and promotions to the local industries which will be of benefit to the
community.
Insurance is a contract whereby a person
called the insurer or assurer agrees in consideration of money paid to him or
her known as premium by another person called the insured or assured to
indemnify him against loss resulting to him on the happening of certain events.
However, it was known that risk exist whenever the future is unknown and
therefore insurance exist primarily to combat the adverse effect of risk.
The purpose of insurance is to
compensate or indemnify the victim for his financial loss. It should be noted
here that the insurance neither eliminate the loss nor stops the disaster
from happening, what insurance does is
to soften the blow in a purely financial sence by offering monetary
compensation to the victim whereby placing him in the same financial position
after loss as he was before though within the terms of the policy.
Re-insurance is the transfer of
insurance business from one insurance company ot another. The original insurer
who obtain the insurance contract form the insured or assured is called the
direct insurer or the ceding company. Re-insurance arose from the need of the
original insurer to spread the risk he has undertaken. Under re-insurance
contract is between the ceding company policies. Therefore in the event of a
loss, the insured cannot enforce the re-insurance contract.
However, the effect of re-insurance
contract on the ceding company includes:
i Re-
insurance reduces the probability of the ceding
company’s ruin by
assuming his catastrophe risk.
ii Re- insurance stabilizes the ceding
company’s balance sheet by taking on apart of his risk of random fluctuation
risk of change and risk error.
iii Re- insurance increases the amount of
capital effectively available to the ceding company by freeing equity that was
tied up to cover risk.
iv Re-insurance enlarges the ceding company’s
underwriting capacity by accepting a proportional share of risks and by
providing part of the necessary reserves.
The insurance section is made up of a large number of
companies with varying sizes, among which the NAICOM was established. The
government uses this commission to regulate the insurance industry. The
government uses this commission to regulate the insurance industry. It was
established in 1997 by NAICOM decree N0 1 of 1997. Prior to the establishment
of National insurance commission, the insurance business regulation and

established in 1991 to take over the supervision of insurance form the director
