Nigeria Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance Overview

Shortly after Nigeria’s independence, diplomatic relations were established between it and Canada. Nigeria and Canada relate in terms of education, trade, investment, development, and human assistance.

As a matter of fact, over 10,000 Nigerian students travelled to Canada to study in 2017. This has made Nigeria an important source of international students for Canada in sub-Saharan Africa.

Canadians visit Nigeria for various purposes including trade, tourism, and business. Your provincial plan may not be sufficient to cover you when you travel outside of Canada to Nigeria. In other words, you need to have additional coverage or Nigeria travel insurance plan in place before you travel.

Nigeria Healthcare

There are public and private hospitals in Nigeria. However, the standards of healthcare and facilities in Nigeria are very poor but your provincial plan will no longer cover you when outside the shores of your province. This is why you should get Nigeria travel insurance to cover you against medical uncertainties when you travel to the sub-Saharan African country.

Serena Hill

Very polite and courteous! Def a thumbs up ☺️

Kathy Jackson

Make it possible to contact a CSR who doesn't transfer me around 7 times before telling me they can't find their own policy issued to a customer - a policy number taken from their own letterhead!! I will tell everyone I know, in every way, to avoid your company at all costs. If I have to, I will contact CBC W5 or Marketplace. Manulife, you have messed with the wrong estate executor!!

Dee Garrett Gauthier

We had an excellent experience with Insurdinary. We strongly recommend them for insurance. Very pleasant to speak with. Fast and easy. We will be telling our family and friends all about it. Give them a call.
