Nigerian Insurance Industry Database Nigeria (NIID Nigeria) – Everything you should know

June 24, 2021 by Get Insurance Today

The importance of insurance has only grown since it entered the mainstream Nigerian market. Today, the government has enacted compulsory insurance into law, like health insurance for employees, and also vehicle insurance. Focusing on vehicle insurance, its compulsory nature has led to all forms of insurance agencies and agents taking advantage of the high demand by producing fake insurance certificates. This is exactly why NIID Nigeria exists, to validate all compulsory insurance certificates issued by insurance agencies in the nation.
