Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Minister of Youth Development, says the increase in allowance for corps members aligns with the agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to give the best to the citizens.
According to her, Tinubu’s vision for Nigerian youths has always been clear, which is to improve their welfare.
Recall 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.
