In a show of support and recognition for the hard work of employees, the Director-General and Chief Executive Officer of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Abisoye Coker-Odusote, has approved an upward review of transport allowances for all staff members. The decision reflects her commitment to improving staff welfare amidst Nigeria’s challenging economic conditions.
The newly approved allowance adjustment is aimed at easing the transportation burden on workers, particularly as they continue to show unwavering dedication to the commission’s mission of delivering national identity services. Coker-Odusote, in her announcement, emphasized that the move was a direct response to the realities faced by employees, further showcasing her compassion and leadership during difficult times.
“We understand the pressures that the current economic situation places on our employees, and this allowance review is a small but important step to demonstrate our commitment to their well-being,” she said, underscoring her determination to provide tangible support to the workforce.
The NIMC boss also introduced additional measures to alleviate the impact of rising costs. She announced the provision of a staff bus for easier commuting and the distribution of subsidized bags of rice, aiming to help staff cope with soaring food prices. These initiatives were warmly welcomed by the employees, who applauded Coker-Odusote’s continued efforts to ensure their welfare.
The announcement led to a spontaneous celebration at the commission’s headquarters, where staff organized a surprise party in her honor. The gathering quickly turned into a heartfelt tribute, with colleagues expressing their appreciation for her kindness, leadership, and the positive changes she has brought to the organization.
“Her leadership goes beyond the ordinary; it’s rooted in compassion and a deep sense of responsibility toward those she leads,” one staff member remarked during a speech.

This latest initiative from Abisoye Coker-Odusote continues to solidify her reputation as a leader who listens, cares, and takes action to improve the lives of those under her charge.
