Insurance Regulators
Muhtasari
When you buy an insurance policy you hand over your premium today for a promise to be paid, perhaps years from now, if disaster strikes. That promise is only as good as the company standing behind it, and the people buying cover cannot inspect an insurer's accounts for themselves. Someone has to make sure the promise will be kept. In Nigeria that someone is NAICOM, the National Insurance Commission, backed by a ring of professional bodies that police the brokers, the loss adjusters and the insurers themselves.
This lesson sets out who guards the Nigerian insurance market and how. You will learn why a regulator is needed at all, the statutory powers of NAICOM, and the distinct jobs of the NIA, the NCRIB, ILAN and the CIIN. You will also meet the new law that reshaped the industry in 2025, the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act, and see exactly where each body sits in the chain of command.
