Premium changed by the insurance company is its primary sources of manning income, therefore the insurance companies help on premium for its insured or person, financial rights or liability to mention but a few.
However, the financial compensation promised by the insurer is what is called the subject matter of the contract.

Non life insurance companies should invest not less than 10 percent of their total assets in real estate, while the minimum proportion for life insurance companies was fixed at 25 percent.
However, in recognition of the financial intimidation role of insurance companies by government the lending operation of the companies were brought under the control of the C.B.N with effect from April 1978. From then an insurance companies required to render monthly returns of their operation to the bank within 30 days from the end of each month.
