Minister of Youth and Sport Development, Sunday Dare has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for implementing the increase in the monthly allowance of Youth Corp members.
The minister took to his Twitter page and wrote: “Promise kept as NYSC members receive 33k allowee: Many thanks to President Muhammadu Buhari for fulfilling his promise to pay NYSC members the new 33k allowance.
“This is a validation of your commitment to the development of Nigeria’s Youth.”
Mr Dare described the approval as a validation of ‘Buhari’s commitment to the development of Nigeria’s Youth.
Recall that the NYSC DG, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim on Wednesday disclosed the new figures as increased by the Federal Government.
We reports that the Federal government on Friday began the payment of N33,000 monthly allowance to corps members.
Mr Ibrahim confirmed that the sum was approved for the Corps members in line with the new National Minimum Wage review.
Reacting to the development, some Nigerians commended the Federal government for putting smiles on the faces of Corp members.
Some of the ex-corp members hilariously asked if they could serve again while others asked if there will be arrears for old corp members.
