  "account": "Linkage Assurance Plc, a Nigerian insurance company, has unveiled a new product called DiasporaCare+ aimed at providing protection for Nigerians living abroad. The product, presented by the company's Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Daniel Braie, is part of the insurer's strategy to expand insurance coverage and address the evolving needs of Nigerians both at home and in the diaspora. Braie emphasized that DiasporaCare+ would instill greater confidence among Nigerians abroad that their family members and interests back home have access to adequate insurance coverage, effectively bridging the gap between the diaspora community and Nigeria.\n\nDiasporaCare+ is designed to provide comprehensive protection in four key areas, including travel, homes, automobiles, and holiday-related injuries. The policyholders under Diaspora Travel Insurance are covered for the repatriation of mortal remains to Nigeria. The Diaspora Home Protection offers coverage against fire, special perils, burglary, housebreaking, personal accidents, and liability. The Diaspora Auto Insurance package provides comprehensive, restricted, third-party, and third-party-plus coverage, while the Diaspora Holiday Injury Insurance safeguards against accidental bodily injuries and tropical illnesses.\n\nDr. Imo O. Imo, the Chief Strategy and Product Officer at Linkage Assurance, disclosed that the product was created after evaluating the protection gaps faced by Nigerians residing abroad who still have significant family and financial interests in Nigeria. Imo explained that the goal behind DiasporaCare+ was to transcend the traditional insurance sales approach by focusing on how insurance can assist Nigerians abroad in protecting the connections they maintain with their home country. He added that the product embodies Linkage Assurance's strategy of identifying emerging customer segments and developing insurance solutions tailored to their specific risks and expectations. The company intends to pursue strategic partnerships and distribution channels to make DiasporaCare+ accessible to Nigerians across key Diaspora markets, emphasizing its commitment to innovation, customer-centricity, and financial inclusion.",
