Scope of Cover

This policy has a very wide scope of cover and is specifically tailored to suit protection of portable and valuable items such as laptop computers, cameras, etc that the company may acquire for use by staff.

The attraction of the policy stem from the fact that covers will operate wherever (anywhere in Nigeria) the item is lost or damaged. The policy covers practically all risks with certain exclusions such as electrical or mechanical derangement or defect. To quote for the premium payable, we require the following information for this aspect of insurance:
