Linkage Assurance Plc has reported a N4 billion loss for the year 2021 on the back of excessive payout, and an increase in underwriting profit during the period.

According to the company’s audited financial report, the insurer raked in a total gross premium income of N10.4 billion in 2021, a 31% rise from the amount utilized for the same purpose in 2020 but spend N8.8 billion of this amount on claims expenses (N5 billion) and underwriting expenses (3.8 billion). This means that 85% of GPI was tied to claims settlement.

The result is despite the year 2021 being a recovery year for many organisations and industries following the pandemic in 2020. In addition to Covid, the Nigerian insurance space however suffered a snowballing consequence from the #EndSARS protest which led to the destruction of lives and properties – the Nigerian Insurers Association recently announced that over N11 billion was paid as claims for losses suffered during the 2020 #EndSARS protests.
