The Minister of Youth Development, Jamila Bio Ibrahim, has said the increase in allowance for corps members aligned with the promise of President Bola Tinubu to give the best to the citizens.
Jamila Ibrahim said President Tinubu’s vision for Nigerian youths has always been clear, which is to improve their welfare.
Naija News reported that the federal government increased the monthly allowance of members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) from ₦33,000 to ₦77,000, with effect from July 2024.
In a statement, the Minister of Youths stated that the increase in the allowance of corps members is a direct reflection of the commitment of her ministry’s effort to improve the welfare of youths in the country.
“The President’s vision for Nigerian youth has always been clear—he supports any initiative that improves their welfare and prospects. This allowance increase is a direct reflection of that commitment, and the Ministry is pleased that this has become a reality.
“The increase is not just a response to economic challenges; it is part of a strategic agenda to enhance the conditions of service for our youth, ensuring they are well-equipped to contribute to national development,” Ibrahim said.
The Minister added that the allowance increase is just “one of many initiatives the Ministry of Youth Development will continue to pursue to improve the lives of youths”.
