If you live in Nigeria, you already know that the rainy season can go from 0 to 100 quickly. From hailstorm disasters in Delta to major flooding in Lagos, social media is currently flooded with complaints and tragic stories of property damage. And guess what? Most of the people affected had no insurance.
That brings us to the big question: how much does Home Insurance cost in Nigeria in 2025?
The Truth About Home Insurance in Nigeria
Home Insurance is no longer something only the wealthy need to think about. These days, both tenants and landlords are at risk of losing everything in a flash — whether it is a fire, flood, or even an unexpected burglary. That is why understanding Home Insurance cost and coverage in Nigeria should be on everyone’s checklist.
In 2025, the starting price for a standard Home Insurance policy is around ₦20,000 per year. This basic plan can cover damages worth up to ₦10 million. Yes, that small fee can be the difference between full recovery and complete loss.
You might wonder if it is worth it. Consider the rising cost of household repairs and renovations. Even a single water leak could run into hundreds of thousands. Home Insurance spreads that risk, so you are not left scrambling when the unexpected hits.
Key Things to Check Before Buying
What exactly does the policy cover? (Structure, contents, or both?)
What is the maximum claim amount?
Does the insurer have a history of paying claims promptly?
Can you get it online without running around for forms?
How to Decide if You Need Home Insurance
If you have ever asked yourself, "What if my TV, laptop, fridge, generator, or roof gets damaged in a rainstorm or fire?" then yes, you need it. It does not matter if you are renting a self-contained flat or living in your own bungalow. Disaster does not discriminate.
