Nigeria’s Power Crisis Deepens on Grid Failures, Dysfunctional DisCos
The power crisis in Nigeria is like a malignant disease, infecting the nation’s economy and causing its citizens untold suffering. Small businesses are especially vulnerable, as they struggle to shoulder the burden of providing their power, while individuals face daily frustrations and hardships. Every day, across Nigeria, the power situation has become like a slow poison, creeping into every corner of life. For businesses, it’s a death by a thousand cuts, as profits dwindle and costs mount. For individuals, it’s a constant reminder of their country's shortcomings, a constant frustration. And for the economy as a whole, it’s a drag on growth, an obstacle to progress. The broader consequences of the situation are far-reaching, affecting everything from the cost of living for ordinary citizens to the overall productivity of the economy. As a result, Nigeria’s ability to develop and grow economically is being seriously undermined by the challenges facing the electricity distribution companies (DisCos). These challenges have created a vicious cycle, in which the inefficiencies of the DisCos are leading to an even greater demand for government intervention, which in turn is further straining the country’s already tight finances.

Nigeria’s Insurance Industry Sees Changes as Top 10 Insurers Post N472.6bn Premium
A Dataset Showing Nigeria’s Top 10 insurers by gross written premium (GWP) is giving analysts the encouragement to suggest emerging dynamism in the country’s insurance landscape that could position it for enhanced growth and greater development. The data do not, however, show that insurance penetration in Africa’s most populous country and its largest economy by gross domestic product (GDP) size, is about to improve, but a combined gross premium of N472.6 billion by the 10 top insurers is given comfort to analysts to suggest that something positive lies ahead for the industry. Analysts say the emerging dynamism in the Nigerian insurance market going by the dataset can be seen in the increasing growth of life business against a general business which is traditionally the industry’s mainstay; the fact that indigenous insurers are still holding ground as far as industry leadership is concerned; that bankers have moved into insurance to dominate and bring banking industry Midas touch to the industry to give it a shakeout; and the data showing that the frontier for growth is in the composite model, while that of competition lies in microinsurance, Takaful and insurtech.
