Revised Allowance For Corps Members Awaiting Presidential Approval
Sunday Dare, Minister of Youth and Sports Development, has stated that a revised allowance for serving members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has been submitted to President Muhammadu Buhari for approval.
Dare spoke at the inauguration of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on the 50th Anniversary of the NYSC on Monday in Abuja.
According to the Minister, the scheme is looking to expand the skills acquisition and entrepreneurship development program throughout the service year.
He stated that the committee would make recommendations on reforms and improvements to the NYSC scheme, not just for welfare.
He said: “The allowances of our youth corps members have been increased from N19,000 to N33,000; that is even above the minimum wage. And that is part of their welfare.
“As we speak, the NYSC under the DG and the management staff has sent forth a proposal to improve on their uniform, to increase their different allowances and that is already with the president.
“If that gets the approval that is necessary; even SAED training will go beyond just three weeks and would be through the entire youth service. So those are the areas that are covered.”
