This study is carried out to examine the impact of effective regulation on policy implementation in the Nigeria insurance business operation. Using survey research design and inferential statistic analysis; the study tested the sign of the significant relationship between set of dependent variables (performance; poor reserve portfolio; and insurance tariff) and set of independent variables (regulatory & supervisory function; risk pricing supervision; and efficiency & effectiveness of regulators). The study used primary data obtained through the distributed questionnaire. Linear regression analysis was used to find out the extent to which the set of independent variables impacted the set of dependent Variables. The findings of the study reveal that Regulatory and supervisory functions of the regulator have significant influence on the performance of insurance companies in Nigeria. Also, there is significant relationship between the risk pricing supervision and poor reserve portfolios in the Nigeria insurance industry. The study recommends that government should put a framework or template in place that will ensure effective, proper, and efficient regulation of insurance business in Nigeria.

This chapter focuses attention on the TETFund intervention in tertiary institutions. Research and development is strategic for the growth and development of a country, however, this requires funding; which was hitherto lacking in the Nigerian higher education system until the advent of TETFund. The chapter has focused adequate attention on research and development (Rand D) and argues that strategic position of TETFund in Nigeria’s educational system has much to do with research, inventions, innovations and studies. This is because education at this level brings solutions to challenges nations face in their quest to self-reliance and sustainability. The chapter has identified challenges of TETFund to include funding to overcome the inadequacy of fiscal resources which threatens to erode the desired qualitative higher education output. In this regard, the chapter proffers solutions on how TETFund could be repositioned for optimum performance.
