<p>To many
Nigerians, the time and season are not auspicious for agricultural business in
view of the prevailing insecurity in bush and farmlands allegedly perpetrated
by Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram renegades.</p>



<p>Stories have
been told over the years how farmers are either killed or kidnapped in various
farm settlements. Chief Olu Falae’s kidnap in September 2015 at his farm in
Akur, Ondo State,  ;remains an example. </p>



<p>But Ayoola
Fatona, Head, Agriculture and Micro Insurance of Leadway Assurance says there
is nothing to worry about as the insurance company has covers for all risks in
agricultural operations.</p>



<p>He stated
this on Friday, August 16 at Wheatbaker Hotel, Ikoyi ; at a conference themed Using Crowdfunding
platforms to invest in Agribusiness: Managing Your Risk, organized ; by Leadway Assurance and supported by
Agrecourse Integrated Services Ltd, Farmcrowdy Ltd and Thrive Agric.</p>



<p>He
emphasized that Leadway covers all the risks in agriculture including
retroactive policies. “In poultry insurance, Leadway is above board. For
instance, even when Leadway had all the opportunity to deny claims, the company
went ahead to pay claims to farmers when Kainji Dam was opened at the wrong
time, adding that the insurance company “parades integrity.”</p>



<p>“There is
kidnap and ransom insurance in Nigeria” He stated.</p>



<p>He lamented
the absence of reliable statistics from meteorological agency, which he stated,
accounts ; for the high risks occasioned
by unexpected flooding and other natural hazards in the country’s agricultural
setting. “Weather forecast is very key in mitigating risk in agriculture.
However, Leadway provides the necessary covers for farmers to take advantage of”
he told the audience made up of agricultural farmers.</p>



<p>Leadway
Assurance is a foremost insurance service company with a reputation of
honouring underwriting commitment</p>
