Insurance companies are also financial institutions charged with the responsibility of providing safeguards against risks. Insurance is the pooling of risks. It is a contract under which an insurer promises to indemnify the insured against any justifiable loss, which he (the insured) may suffer upon the payment of premium. The first insurance company in Nigeria is the “Loyal Exchange Assurance Company” in 1921.
