According to the statement, the Okada Personal Assurance & Safety Scheme (Okada Pass) is in five different plans.
The plans are Jeje Cover, Carry-Go Cover, No-Shaking Cover, Under the Confaam Cover, and Digital Bike Cover.
The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, Mr Benedict Ujoatuonu, stated that Okada Pass is an innovative product that provides benefits to Okada riders.
He said, “If you take a look at the level of accidents that involve the okada riders every day on Nigerian roads, they are high and most often you discover they are left without any form of benefits that come from insurance.
“So, this is what our Okada Pass is coming to take care of.
“We provide them with personal accident cover that makes sure that when they sustain any injury that requires medical attention, they will get it from the policy.
“Even if it is disability, which is very rampant in okada business, they will be covered by our policy.”
