Linkage Assurance Plc has formally unveiled DiasporaCare+, an innovative insurance solution designed to help Nigerians living abroad provide structured insurance protection for their , assets, liabilities and valued interests back home.
The product was formally unveiled by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Linkage Assurance Plc, Mr. Daniel Braie, as part of the company’s broader strategy to deepen insurance penetration, expand access to protection and develop solutions around the evolving needs of Nigerians at home and abroad.
A Bridge Between the Diaspora and Home
DiasporaCare+ recognises a simple reality: while millions of Nigerians live and work outside the country, they continue to maintain strong family, financial and economic ties with Nigeria.
The solution therefore provides a dependable insurance framework through which Nigerians abroad can protect what matters to them at home.
Speaking at the unveiling, Mr. Daniel Braie, Managing Director/CEO of Linkage Assurance Plc, described DiasporaCare+ as an expression of the company’s commitment to customer-focused innovation and greater financial inclusion.

We are extending the value of insurance beyond geographical boundaries and providing a dependable bridge between our diaspora community and home.”

Fire & Special Perils , Burglary & Housebreaking , Personal Accident & Liability .
3. Diaspora Auto Insurance

Explaining the thinking behind the product, Dr. Imo O. Imo, Chief Strategy & Product Officer, Linkage Assurance Plc, said DiasporaCare+ was developed from a deliberate effort to understand the protection gaps confronting Nigerians living abroad.
“The thinking behind DiasporaCare+ was to move beyond simply selling an insurance policy to the diaspora. We asked a more fundamental question: how can insurance help Nigerians abroad protect the people, assets and commitments that continue to connect them to home? DiasporaCare+ is our response a practical protection ecosystem built around those real-life needs.”
