Speaking during the commissioning of a staff bus in Abuja, Ahmed assured corps members that they would begin receiving the increased allowance.

The DG explained that arrangements for corps members' to receive their N77, 000 have been finalised.

He stated that his priority for 2025 was the welfare and security of the corps members, ensuring that all their benefits would be provided.
