The Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) has pinpointed several factors hindering the growth of the nation’s insurance sector. Key among these is the exclusion of pension funds from insurance investments, significantly limiting available capital. A lack of technological integration within the industry also poses a challenge, impeding efficiency and accessibility. Furthermore, widespread public ignorance regarding the benefits of insurance contributes to low uptake. The NCRIB believes addressing these issues – particularly increasing financial literacy and modernizing operations – is crucial for expanding insurance coverage in Nigeria. This limited penetration represents a significant gap in financial security for individuals and businesses. The council advocates for policy changes and increased investment in technological infrastructure to foster growth.
