Life insurance riders Nigeria

A rider adds a defined benefit or condition to a base policy, usually for an extra premium. Common examples address critical illness, disability or premium waiver, but availability varies by product.

What to check

Compare the rider’s trigger, covered conditions, waiting period, benefit amount, expiry age and whether payment reduces another benefit.

What could change the answer

The everyday meaning of ‘critical illness’ or ‘disability’ may be broader than the policy definition. Diagnosis alone may not satisfy every contractual trigger.

A practical next step

Choose riders for a specific uncovered risk and ask for the rider wording and price separately from the base plan.
