Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Event management is inherently risky, involving uncertainties related to financial loss, accidents, natural disasters, and other unforeseen circumstances. Event insurance serves as a vital tool in mitigating these risks, providing coverage for liabilities and unforeseen expenses. In Potiskum Local Government Area, Yobe State, events such as weddings, cultural festivals, and community gatherings often face risks ranging from weather disruptions to logistical failures. According to Adamu and Yusuf (2023), event insurance offers financial security and peace of mind to organizers, enabling them to focus on delivering successful events. Despite its benefits, the adoption of event insurance remains low in Potiskum due to limited awareness, cost concerns, and misconceptions about its relevance. This study evaluates the effectiveness of event insurance in mitigating risks, focusing on its adoption, benefits, and challenges in Potiskum.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Event organizers in Potiskum often face significant risks that can lead to financial losses and reputational damage. However, the adoption of event insurance as a risk management tool is minimal, leaving organizers vulnerable to unforeseen challenges. Factors such as lack of awareness, high insurance premiums, and skepticism about insurance providers contribute to this low adoption rate. While studies have explored risk management in event planning, limited research focuses on the effectiveness of event insurance in Potiskum (Bello & Ibrahim, 2024). This study addresses this gap by assessing the role of event insurance in mitigating risks in Potiskum Local Government Area.
