Explaining the risks covered over the years and the corporation’s future plans, the Director-General NAIC, Folashade Joseph said the unique key performance indicator of an insurance company is claims payment.

A breakdown of the paid claims showed that the corporation paid N856 million to insured farmers in 2019 and N848 million in 2020.
