bedrock within which capital is formulated, those take place and it made possible by the intermediation of
bank and non bank financial institution.

through they are not bank whose financial resource are primary from deposit
their participation is centered on the function of accumulation of longer term
saving from either corporate bodies or from individual as well as channeling
these saving to individual corporate bodies and government for the purpose of
productive investment and economic growth. These financial intermediaries are
not withdrawable on demand also they do not issue cheque like the bank, their
function are limited to certain specific area these institution which have been

CHAPTER ONE
1.2 OBJECTIVE
OF THE STUDY
The basic fact under these objective of the study is to encapsulate the
contribution of insurance companies to the development of our country Nigeria. At
this junction, the insurance companies (NICON) promote the business risk of both business and
agricultural sector, financing the group between the rich and the poor, also safeguarding
against numerous risk to which capital is exposed and take part in promoting
bilateral and multilateral trade. For example international trade would be
greatly impeded if insurance and export credit guarantee insurance schemes were
not available.
Furthermore, the insurance companies show different policy which people
can venture into i.e. whole life insurance policy and non life insurance policy
and at the same time practice both policy, under the whole life insurance
policy payment become due on the death of the life assumed, while in non life
insurance policy payment became due at the state data it has been mentioned
above that it is possible for people to take part in both polices this make it
possible, according to the guide line produce by insurance companies degree and
some immediate benefit in taking at a time.
1.3 PROBLEM
OF THE STUDY
For the purpose of literacy we categorically state from the onset that
non-banking financial institution constitute and indispensable organ in achieving
economic growth and development of any nation like Nigeria.
However there exist a paradoxical situation within context when in spite
of the realization of this significant percentage of Nigeria population area
yet to be incorporated into non-banking financial institution are the best word to describe the attribution on
the other hand the lack of public awareness about the usefulness of non-banking
financial institution like insurance companies (NICON) and other financial house,
people do not know their usefulness and importance of their services rendered.
The poor development of non-banking financial institution as well as the
whole economy, such as quality of insurance companies (NICON) service economic
moral, social political and even religions factor the project therefore delves
into these problem and offer constructive measure of suggestion that could of
immense help in achieving better non-banking financial institution in Nigeria.
1.3 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This study has it main focus of highlighting the effectiveness,
regulation and economical important of non-banking financial institution on the
growth of Nigeria

It helps to highlighting the historical background and the nature of
insurance companies. Moreover it also has the case study of the above mention
named insurance company, which is National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria

1.5 LIMITATION
OF THE STUDY
The major difficulties encountered during this study are just the
administrative bottle neck and unwarranted bureaucratic redotarism of obtaining
information from the public function.
Some other Problems Encountered During the Study
are:
i Inadequate
data due to haphazard record keeping
ii the
uncooperative attitude of the people most especially the literates one and even
the learned people were reluctant to give adequate information.
In view of these alternative means were explored from the National
Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NICON), textbook and different journal book.
There is
limitation in data collation for the purpose of inter company comparison. It
would have been appropriate to collate various companies financial statement
for the purpose of analysis them. This was not possible simply because some
companies were not willing to release their financial statement.
