AIICO Group which has 3 subsidiaries (AIICO Insurance Plc,
AIICO Capital and
AIICO Multishield HMO) also explained that delay in releasing their result is due to delay in getting approval from their regulator (NAICOM) mainly due to their Group structure where results from 3 Companies have separate regulators and results have to be consolidated and submitted to a Primary regulator. They expect result to be filed by the end of April.
FBN Holdings Plc (

We can expect more delay announcements from Banks and Insurance Companies as these Companies face a lot of scrutiny from their regulators i.e CBN & NAICOM respectively which leads to delays in getting approvals.
