Impact verdict
Medium impact. While the humanitarian impact is severe, direct insured losses are likely limited given the nature of the target (students/school) and the region's low insurance penetration. However, the event escalates security risk assessments for the Borno State and Lake Chad Basin area, with implications for War Risk and Terrorism & Political Violence underwriting.
