Niger Insurance
The results by Niger Insurance, though sustaining previous year's performance, would seem not to have shown a new impetus to achieve a quantum leap, as generally expected from the sector at this time. The marginal growth in premium income and net earnings clearly falls short of trends emerging from the sector.
