Leadway Assurance, one of Nigeria’s leading insurance providers and a member of Leadway Group, committed to delivering innovative insurance solutions, has unveiled Leadway Arrival Pack, a short-term insurance solution designed around the way people engage, celebrate and do business during Nigeria’s peak seasons.
The launch event, held in Lagos, brought together key stakeholders from across the travel, lifestyle, tourism, aviation, media and financial services sectors. Discussions at the event highlighted the growing need for flexible insurance solutions tailored to diaspora Nigerians, business travellers, tourists, students and other short-term visitors, as well as the businesses that serve them during their stay in the country.
The Leadway Arrival Pack was developed as a seasonal insurance solution for periods when travel, gatherings and commercial activity naturally increase. It is designed to give visitors and participating businesses greater confidence and peace of mind by providing protection against unexpected disruptions and risks that may arise during short-term stays in Nigeria.
Traditional insurance plans are often structured around longer-term coverage, leaving individuals on brief visits with limited options for protection. With increasing international travel, diaspora homecomings, business visits and tourism activity, the need for flexible, temporary insurance solutions has become increasingly important. Leadway Assurance is addressing this gap through the Arrival Pack, offering accessible short-term coverage tailored to the realities of temporary stays.
Speaking at the launch, Kikelomo Fischer, Executive Director, Retail & Partnership Leadway Assurance, said “Our primary objective in launching the Arrival Pack is to ensure that coming into Nigeria for a temporary visit or stay is defined by greater peace of mind, both for visitors and the businesses that serve them.
International passenger movements into Nigeria increased from 4.33 million in 2024 to 4.85 million in 2025, representing about 12 per cent growth. As travel and commercial activity increase, so does exposure to unexpected risks. The Arrival Pack is designed to provide relevant protection during these periods, giving visitors greater confidence during their stay and businesses greater assurance as they serve them.”
As Leadway officially welcomes the 2026 festive season, December will serve as the flagship season for the Arrival Pack, aligning the product with one of the busiest periods for travel, homecomings, events and commercial activity in Nigeria.
Beyond December, the Arrival Pack is also designed for other seasonal peaks such as Easter and Eid, as well as similar periods when travel, gatherings and commercial activity naturally increase. The product is already available for purchase on Leadway’s website, giving visitors and businesses the opportunity to secure insurance coverage ahead of these high-activity periods.
The Arrival Pack policy reflects Leadway’s continued commitment to innovating around how people live, travel and do business, and evolving its solutions to remain relevant to changing customer needs.
