FEC Approves Life Insurance Scheme for Tinubu, Shettima, Ministers, Federal Workers
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved a comprehensive Group Life Assurance Scheme covering President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, federal ministers, and other senior government officials. This was disclosed by the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Didi Walson-Jack, while briefing reporters at the State House following the sixth FEC meeting of the year.
Walson-Jack explained that the scheme is part of the administration’s commitment to the welfare of public servants. Under the arrangement, the federal government will provide life insurance policies for public workers, ensuring that in the event of death, their next-of-kin receive financial benefits to ease the burden of loss.
In addition to senior officials, the scheme extends to civil servants, permanent secretaries, and staff of ministries and treasury-funded agencies. It also includes personnel of paramilitary organisations such as the Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Correctional Service, Federal Fire Service, Federal Road Safety Corps, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, and the Office of the National Security Adviser.
The newly approved policy is for the 2025/2026 insurance year and will become effective upon payment of premiums to the appointed underwriters, in accordance with the “no premium, no cover” policy. A total of 17 insurance companies have been selected to manage the group life cover, which will run for 12 months and expire in 2026.
