Uba Sani assures NYSC members of welfare support, promotes free CNG transport

Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has assured National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members of the government’s commitment to their welfare and security, while promoting free transportation through CNG-powered buses operating on over 40 routes.

Sani gave the assurance at the closing ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream ‘I’ orientation course at the NYSC temporary orientation camp in Kaduna on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.

Sani, who was represented by the Kaduna State Commissioner for Youth Development, Gloria Ibrahim, said the government would address corps members’ welfare concerns, following renovations of hostels at the temporary camp.

He said the well-being and security of corps members remained priorities of his administration, urging them to remain security conscious as they proceeded to their Places of Primary Assignment.

The governor urged the corps members to respect the cultures and traditions of their host communities, identify their needs and execute Community Development Service projects to improve living standards.

Sani enjoined them to take advantage of the state government’s CNG-powered buses, which provide free, safe and convenient transportation across more than 40 routes in Kaduna State.

Sani appealed to public and private organisations to accept corps members, support their settlement and ensure their welfare to make their service year meaningful.

Earlier, the NYSC Kaduna State Coordinator, Abubakar Bawa, said the corps members distinguished themselves through discipline, resilience, perseverance and active participation in camp activities.

Bawa urged them to proceed promptly to their respective places of primary assignment after receiving their posting letters and discharge their duties with diligence, selflessness, and commitment to excellence.

He described national service as a noble sacrifice, stressing that hard work, perseverance and dedication were essential foundations for lasting success.
