Coronation Insurance Redefines Motor Insurance in Nigeria with Launch of MotorMax
Coronation Insurance Plc has announced the launch of MotorMax, an innovative motor insurance policy designed to transform the Nigerian motor insurance landscape by moving motorists beyond basic third-party compliance to affordable, comprehensive vehicle protection.
For decades, motor insurance adoption in Nigeria has largely been limited to mandatory third-party coverage. MotorMaxaddresses this gap by offering motorists robust, accessible protection for their own vehicles, with plans starting from as low as ₦25,000.
MotorMax introduces a flexible, tiered structure—Bronze, Silver, and Gold—tailored to meet the diverse needs and budgets of Nigerian drivers, from urban commuters to long-distance travellers and owners of high-value vehicles.
The MotorMax Bronze plan serves as an entry-level upgrade from basic third-party insurance. Priced at ₦25,000 annually, it offers vehicle repair coverage of up to ₦500,000; third-party vehicle damage coverage of up to ₦3,000,000; unlimited (but reasonable) compensation for third-party injury or death; towing services up to ₦5,000; emergency medical expense coverage up to ₦10,000; and a 10% policy excess.
The MotorMax Silver plan, available at ₦45,000 annually, enhances protection with vehicle repair coverage up to ₦750,000, increased towing benefits of up to ₦15,000 (intra-state) and ₦25,000 (inter-state), and emergency medical coverage up to ₦15,000.
At the premium tier, MotorMax Gold offers motorists near-comprehensive benefits at a significantly lower cost than traditional comprehensive insurance. Priced at ₦50,000 annually, it includes vehicle repair coverage up to ₦1,000,000; third-party vehicle damage coverage up to ₦3,000,000; unlimited liability for third-party injury or death; towing services up to ₦15,000 (intra-state) and ₦25,000 (inter-state); emergency medical coverage up to ₦20,000; and a 10% policy excess.
MotorMax is specifically designed for motorists currently on third-party policies who seek enhanced protection without the financial burden of full comprehensive insurance. By bridging the gap between compliance and comprehensive cover, the product empowers drivers with greater peace of mind on every journey.
Speaking on the launch, Olamide Olajolo, MD/CEO of Coronation Insurance Plc, said:
“MotorMax represents our commitment to reimagining insurance for the everyday Nigerian. We understand that many motorists want more protection than third-party cover but are constrained by cost. With MotorMax, we are providing a practical, affordable solution that delivers meaningful coverage and peace of mind. This is a significant step in deepening insurance penetration and ensuring more Nigerians are truly protected on the road.”
The launch of MotorMax underscores Coronation Group’s broader mission to deliver transformational solutions that address real-life challenges across Africa. By raising the standard for motor insurance offerings, Coronation Insurance continues to position itself as a customer-focused innovator in the industry.

The Office of the Tax Ombud said it is strengthening its capacity to handle disputes arising from digital asset taxation as part of efforts to improve fairness and transparency in Nigeria’s tax system.
The Tax Ombud and Chief Executive of the Office of the Tax Ombud, John Nwabueze, disclosed this on Thursday at a media parley in Lagos, where he outlined the office’s achievements and future priorities.

He also said the office plans to establish offices in all six geopolitical zones to improve taxpayers’ access to its services.
Mr Nwabueze said the Office of the Tax Ombud has enhanced access to its services through a digital complaints portal, a case management system, a toll-free call centre and SMS callback services, making it easier for individuals and businesses to lodge complaints and obtain timely resolutions.
According to him, the office received more than 20 ‘genuine’ complaints within its first three months of operation, most of them involving state revenue services.
“Within three months, the Office received over 20 genuine complaints, most of them involving state revenue services.
“Of these, eight have been successfully resolved, all within the statutory 14-day resolution period, with provision for an additional seven days where necessary,” Mr Nwabueze said.
The Tax Ombud said the office is also expanding engagement with professional bodies, the media, revenue authorities and other stakeholders, while preparing a nationwide public awareness campaign to address issues such as multiple taxation.
“The Office has expanded the capacity of its skilled accountants and legal experts to handle complex tax matters, including disputes relating to digital asset taxation, should such cases arise.
“We are also enhancing accessibility at the grassroots through plans to establish offices across all six geopolitical zones,” the tax ombud CEO said.
He further noted that multiple taxation, particularly at the state and local government levels, remains a major concern, adding that the federal government is working with relevant stakeholders, including the Joint Revenue Board, state governments and local government authorities, to develop lasting solutions.
