The family of the late corps member, Juliana Oreoluwa Aina, who died in ghastly accident in Lagos, in March, 2023, when a BRT bus she was travelling in was crushed by a train, was presented insurance cover cheques by the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier-General Yushau Ahmed.
The cheque was presented at the family house of the deceased corps members in Abuja, with the NYSC DG presiding over the event on Wednesday.
NYSC’s insurance company, Capital Express Assurance Limited, provided one of the cheques, while the other was from the Corps Member’s Health Management Organisation.
At the ceremony, Brigadier-General Ahmed, conveyed his condolences to the family of the late corps member, and reassured the NYSC’s commitment to come to the aid of its members and their families in times of need.
“All of us in the NYSC family received with great shock the news of the sudden death of our dear sister. Please accept our deepest condolences.
“We have equally received volumes of condolence messages from far and near when the unfortunate incident occurred,” he said.
The NYSC’s Director of Corps Welfare and Health Services, Ayodele Folorunsho, maintained that it has been the tradition of the NYSC to present insurance cover cheques to families of corps members who encounter untimely deaths during their national service.
Reacting, Juliana’s father, Oluwafemi John Aina, hailed the NYSC for standing with them during their time of grief.
