The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Y. D Ahmed has reiterated that Corps members’ welfare will continue to dominate a top spot in his administration.
Speaking while receiving the
management team of Capital
Express Assurance Limited (CEAL) at NYSC National Directorate

Brigadier General Ahmed, who
applauded CEAL for being consistent in carrying out its statutory responsibilities in line with the Memorandum of Understanding it signed with NYSC stated that therea is need for the two organizations to take time for joint assessment of the
implementation of the accord to identify and address gray areas.
He further said that NYSC would never relent in meeting its obligations in the partnership, and called on CEAL to equally sustain the tempo at which it promptly responds to issues pertaining to insurance cover for Corps Members.
In her remarks earlier, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Capital Express Assurance Limited, Mrs. Odukale Adebola disclosed that the company has for quite sometime
been responsible for providing
insurance services to Corps
Members.
She said that the company which
has existed for over 30 years has
always lived up to expectations by
paying benefits to families of Corps Members who pay the supreme sacrifice and providing succour to those who suffer permanent disabilities through the programme in the course of the service year through the programme, “Corps welfare insurance scheme”.
She added that CEAL does intervene in executing special projects for NYSC as part of its corporate social responsibility.
“Recently, we constructed and
furnished a vocational centre at
NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Keffi, Nasarawa State.
Before that, we had provided technological devices in support of NYSC’s digitization process,’ she said.
She, therefore, appealed for the
fostering the symbiotic
relationship for the overall interest of Corps Members.
