It provides good mechanism for accumulating long-term funds for infrastructural financing, sustainability for business models, job creation, and an improved standard of living. The drive for reforms in Nigeria insurance sector is geared towards unlocking its inherent but untapped potential as Aencapsulated in EFInA market survey report, which revealed only 1.9% out of 96.4 million adult Nigerian of 18 years and above have insurance in the last accounting year. The Industry is set to reap the benefit of opportunities and potentials in the economic recovery occasioned by improving crude oil prices and output level stability, improving foreign reserve and declining inflation in the coming years. In line with the Federal Government's decision to focus more attention on the insurance industry and to reposition it for improved growth, the regulator came up with a number of market transformation agenda. Some of these initiatives include the new pricing regime on "Compulsory Insurance", Revised Guidelines on Micro Insurance, while there are on-going discussions on RBS - Risk Based Supervision. The rise in disposable income, digitalization and automation of insurance services, a growing middle class, better adherence to operational guidelines by market players and innovative service delivery will enable the industry to achieve increased profitability and market penetration. The growth in the industry was buoyed by its Investment Income which rose to N65.88 billion in 2017 compared to N45.32 billion in 2016 representing 45.37% increase. Fresh injection of patient capital and a model that encourages the use of mobile technology and unconventional sales channels are likely to produce better results. The industry remained resilient, recording a significant increase in the volume of business underwritten in the year 2017. The premium production stood at N365.06 billion compared to N315.96 billion in 2016, representing a percentage increase of 15.53%. The average annual growth rate of the Nigerian insurance sector in the last ten (10) years is 14.29%. Non-life insurance premium income grew by 7.43% while Life insurance business recorded significant feats with a premium growth rate of 27.64%.

  • Eebi, Islam and Christianity: a Contribution of “Faith-Based Groups” to Socio- Political and Economic Development of Epe, South-West Nigeria
    Eebi, Islam and Christianity: A Contribution of “Faith-based Groups” to Socio- political and Economic Development of Epe, South-West Nigeria SHOLAGBADE, Abiola Department of History Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, Nigeria 08054416799, 07030510005 [email protected] Abstract In many parts of Africa, Faith Based Organisation (FBOs) constantly and continuously affect and shape socio-political, economic and infrastructural development of the societies. Although there is a strong presence of foreign religion (Islam and Christianity), they co-exist with traditional religions to play an important role in the development of many African societies. Epe in South-western Nigeria is one of ancient littoral towns that still holds on to traditional belief in achieving community development despite the influence of foreign religions. With the aid of interviews and literature, this paper critically explores the co- existence of three different faiths, Eebi (the belief and celebration of Epe ancestral gods and heritage), Islam and Christianity which is noticed in the “Omo iya kan na” identity in Epe. The identity and bond among groups and FBOs in Epe also create and strengthened Social Capital in the society. The paper also assesses these religious institutions as a significant component of civil society, to argue that sacrifice and compromise rather than religious politics, play important roles for FBOs to contribute their resources for development in Epe. The paper concludes that despite religious violence in some parts of Nigeria, FBOs are likely to remain a very strong force in socio-political and economic development of African societies for a long time. Keywords: Development, FBO’s, religious co-existence, “Omo iya kan na”, Social Capital.

  • Library Development in Selected Private Secondary Schools in Lagos State
    Library Development in Selected Private Secondary Schools in Lagos State Yetunde A Zaid (Mrs.) The author ZAID, Y. A. Librarian II, University of Lagos Library, Akoka, Yaba. [email protected]. Keywords Development, Lagos State, Libraries, Private Secondary School. Abstract This paper investigates the schools in Lagos Sate. It assesses the profile of twenty private secondary schools, the library collections and their organization, staffing, physical whose parents are at the mercy of these private school owners who charge very exorbitant fees. The evaluation was based on the “Federal Ministry of Education and Youth Development minimum standards for school libraries in Nigeria.” The findings reveal that as expensive as these schools are library resources in some of the schools under investigation are largely inadequate and out-dated. The reference materials are inadequate and some of the existing ones are old. Professional librarians are not employed to oversee the affairs of the libraries. Suggestions for improving the library resources and services include better funding, expansion of these libraries, introduction and use of information technologies, employment of professionals and library education. INTRODUCTION The school library no doubt provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning Successfully in today’s information and knowledge-based society. It equips students with life-long learning skills and developed the imagination that enables them to live as responsible citizens. It offers learning services, books and resources that helps all members of the school community to become critical thinkers and effective users of information in all formats and media. The use of library is a culture that needs to be developed in our youths through a well-planned library education program.

  • One Hundred Years of Education in Nigeria: Early Childhood Care and Development Education in the Colonial and Post-Colonial Periods
    Scholarly Journal of Education Vol. 4(1), pp. 6-12, February 2015 Available online at http:// www.scholarly-journals.com/SJE ISSN 2315-6155 © 2015 Scholarly-Journals Full Length Research Paper One Hundred years of Education in Nigeria: Early childhood care and development Education in the Colonial and Post-Colonial periods Amakievi Okien Ijeoma Gabriel Institute of foundation studies Rivers state University of Science and Technology, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, P.M.B. 5080, Port Harcourt. Email: [email protected]. Abstract 16 February, 2015 Early childhood care development and education is a universal phenomenon that is practiced globally. In modern times it has become a part of the formal education system of some countries such as the United States and Finland. There are many other countries that provide it but have not integrated it into the formal educational system such as Australia, New Zealand, China, France, Germany, and so on. This study examined the development of Early Childhood Care Development and Education (ECCDE) in Nigeria in the past one hundred years, 1914 to 2014. Data for the study were generated from primary and secondary sources and they were quite revealing. ECCDE delivery has been controlled by non-governmental organizations and private individuals since 1914 in Nigeria. Faith based non-governmental organizations dominated in this area during the colonial period but private individuals have a formidable presence since the post-colonial period. Government made unsuccessful attempts at establishing and sustaining ECCDE centres but has continued to play a regulatory role. However, there is no uniformity in the curriculum, quality of teachers, equipment, facilities, teacher/pupil ratio, fees and activities among these ECCDE providers.
