It stated, “The plan, which is for all active NBA members, comes at no extra cost to the lawyers as it is covered under the annual bar practice fee paid to the NBA. The Leadway Lawyer Affinity plan provides insurance cover of up to N1m for accidental permanent total disability, critical illness, accidental medical and accidental death expenses for the learned professionals.”

While speaking on the partnership, the Executive Director, Leadway Assurance, Ms. Adetola Adegbayi, said, “We believe that by providing insurance to the members of the Nigerian Bar Association, we are intrinsically providing the biggest support to the economy, governance and government of the country. Insurance helps safeguard the profession and the professionals alike.”

According to the statement, the NBA, with over 100,000 registered members, entered into a strategic partnership with Leadway Assurance Company Limited in 2014 to provide a feasible group life insurance policy for all lawyers who pay their annual bar practice fees when due.

“The insurance policy is designed to cover all the NBA lawyers in the following areas: total accidental disability; accidental death; critical illness and accidental medical expenses,” the firm stated.
