    The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of board characteristics on performance of insurance companies in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post factor research design. The study used ordinary least square regression. The findings indicate that corporate governance attributes of board size, board independence, board gender, and foreign ownership concentration in the insurance industry of Nigeria have not significantly impacted on both measures of performances namely return on insurance premium and firm value.
