  • Leadway Assurance has launched the Leadway Lifetime Plan, a new insurance product offering extended financial protection for families.
  • The plan is designed to support the "Sandwich Generation," individuals financially supporting both aging parents and their own children.
  • This initiative reflects the evolving nature of family structures and financial responsibilities in Nigeria.

Leadway Assurance has introduced the Leadway Lifetime Plan, a comprehensive whole-of-life insurance solution aimed at extending financial protection beyond the immediate nuclear family to a wider circle of relatives. The launch took place at a press briefing attended by the Nigerian Association of Insurance and Pension Editors (NAIPE) in Lagos.

According to Olufunmilayo Amanwa, Executive Director of Technical & Operations at Leadway, the Leadway Lifetime Plan addresses the complex financial demands faced by many working adults. She specifically highlighted the "Sandwich Generation" โ€“ individuals who are simultaneously supporting aging parents, raising their own children, and planning for their future financial needs.

Amanwa explained that the plan acknowledges the reality of modern Nigerian families, where responsibilities often extend beyond the traditional household. "Financial responsibility no longer stops at the nuclear family," she stated. "Today, one individual may be supporting children, a spouse, ageing parents, and in some cases, parents-in-law or siblings, all at once. That reality demands a different approach to protection."

The introduction of the Leadway Lifetime Plan signifies the insurer's recognition that family structures and financial obligations are continuously evolving. Consequently, insurance solutions must adapt to meet these changing dynamics, offering broader, long-term protection that aligns with the contemporary Nigerian family's circumstances.
