CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The aim of marketing is to meet and satisfy target consumers’ needs and wants. The field of consumer behaviour according to Kotler (2003) studies
“how individuals, groups and organization select, buy, use and dispose of goods, services, ideas or experiences to satisfy their needs and desires”.
Marketing theories and practices according to Osuagwu (2002) have much to learn from the behavioural sciences but preoccupation with
techniques may tempt marketers to ignore the real world situations. Halbert (1965) states that “behaviuoral sciences’ contribution lies in the fact
that they require learning to take explicit account of the human social aspects of individual and groups engaged in the marketing behaviour rather
than specific tools, techniques or ideas”. Through the behaviuoral science contributions, marketers have come to know that people tend to obey the
pleasure pain – principle, using the former and avoiding the latter. A person’s value is as conditioned by his behaviuor as much as that of people
around him.
Therefore, any organization unable to provide goods and services that fulfill the needs and wants of consumer has lost its basic reason of distance.
This is the crux of marketing concept, which encouraged organization to be consumer oriented in order to survive in a competitive environment.
Consumer behaviour then ”is the behaviour customers or clients display in searching for, buying, using, evaluating and disposing of products,
services and idea which they expect will satisfy their needs and wants. This then makes consumer behaviour a study of how individuals make to
spend their resources on consumption related items and their evaluation of such purchase decisions.
However, the service nature of insurance even makes the study of consumer behaviour very important. Insurance according to Oyetayo (2001) can
be defined “as the contractual agreement between two parties called insurer and insured whereby the former promises to indemnify the industry
that suppose to the virile aspect of any economy has been relegated to the background, this is however unconnected to the bad consumer attitude
towards the purchase of insurance.
The success of any economy is majorly traced to the performance of its industries and business, however, for these industries and businesses to
attain good performance, there must necessarily be a good security system to secure lives and properties. Okwo (2005) describes insurance “as
the handmaiden of commerce and industry, suggesting that modern commerce and industry cannot function efficiently without a well planned and

organized insurance system. Moreover, success of the first world countries cannot but be traced to the their well organized security system
(insurance) and effective and efficient buying behaviour of the insuring public which has made the business of insurance the forerunner of other
industries.

(a) The study of consumer behaviour of the insuring public in Nigeria
(b) Approaches of consumer behaviour
(c) Factors affecting consumers’ attitude
(d) Levels of business behaiour in Nigeria.
(e) Consumer decision – making processes in insurance industry and
(f) Stages of the buying decision process in insurance
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The attitude of insuring public towards the purchase of insurance products/services has affected the industry in no small measure. Despite the
numerical growth and to some extend, expansion in the insurance industry in Nigeria, the insurance market requires a through empirical
investigation to determine the cost structure and optimal production levels in which an insurance company can efficiently operate.
Poor perception of insurance service in Nigeria is worrisome. Most insuring public do not believe in insurance. Religious believe that only God
insures have affected the industry. They see no reason in buying insurance products or services.
The level of illiteracy also have a negative effect on the buying behaviuor of insurance services. Illiterate according to Oxford Advance Dictionary
(6thedition ) “ is somebody or person not knowing how to read and write” But insurance illiteracy goes beyond this reason, even those who know
how to write and read still find it difficult to understand what insurance entails, its benefits and importance to individuals and society at large.
The conservative attitude of insurance companies leading to lack of awareness is also worrisome. There is nothing like aggressive marketing or
advertisement to insuring public and also educate them about the workability benefit of insurance services.
Low participation by government and its parastatals also contribute to low consumer’s attitude towards insurance products or services. Government
parastatals like NAICOM (National Insurance Commission) can also support the insurance companies in the public enlightment of insurance so as
to increase the clients’ base in the industry.
Bad claim experience also has its own negative effect in the industry. The insurance companies were accused of not paying genuine claims. This
had also contributed to the attitude in the industry. Whatever name the insurance industry has today was definitely given by those who had been
victims of some dubious insurers who defaulted in paying genuine claim at one time or the other. To streamline insurance business activities and
stem the upsurge of the mushroom insurance companies, insurance capital base was raised from to N2 million, N3, million and N10 million for life
business, general insurance business and reinsurance businesses respectively, leaving the industry with 58 registered insurance and reinsurance
companies from about 152 insurance and reinsurance companies prior the consolidation exercise.
