Meeting The Capitalization Requirement

However, in a bid to meet the new recapitalisation requirement that was set by the National Insurance Commission, NAICOM, AIICO Insurance Plc has been raising capital through various means.

AIICO Insurance Plc has been trying to raise capital and one of their options was seeking the approval of the Nigerian Stock Exchange to list some 4.3 billion ordinary shares of N0.50 each.

Moreover, in Q1 2020, AIICO Insurance grew its gross premium by 22.5% to N17.6 billion from N14.3 billion in Q1 2020. Profit after tax also grew by 82.8% to N1.9 billion during the quarter under review.
