Close to 20 million vehicles ply the Nigerian roads today. Yet in a rather shocking revelation, only about one in five has genuine insurance cover.

The remaining 80% go about with fake insurance papers obtained from unauthorised sources. This is not by any means good news for the Nigerian government and insurance sector as about N50 billion is lost every year to these fake insurance practitioners.

What drives this message home more is how many road users who, in the event of an accident, are left with no insurance cover and compensation. One is tempted to blame the motorists for this disturbing issue but a closer look at the problem shows that other factors are at play as most of the unsuspecting motorists can’t even differentiate genuine insurance companies from fraudsters peddling fake insurance certificates.
