Following the failure of several palliatives to strengthen both Niger Insurance Plc and the Standard Alliance Insurance, the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) has revoked their licenses, weeding them off the market.

The insurance regulator has also appointed two liquidators to prepare their rites of passage.

According to InsideBusiness, the two have been ailing for sometimes and several efforts to heal and resuscitate them have proved abortive.
