Background of the Study
Financial stability is essential for the survival and growth of insurance firms, enabling them to meet policyholder obligations and withstand economic shocks. In Nigeria, firms like AIICO Insurance are pivotal in providing financial protection and investment opportunities. However, the sector faces challenges such as macroeconomic volatility, regulatory pressures, and competition (Adewale & Chukwuka, 2023).
AIICO Insurance, one of Nigeria’s largest insurers, has demonstrated resilience in navigating these challenges. Understanding the factors contributing to its financial stability provides insights into best practices for the industry and strategies for sustaining growth (Ifeanyi & Oluwatobi, 2024).
