Chairman of Arewa Youths Awareness on Leadership and Election in Bauchi State, Khamis Musa Darazo has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for increasing the monthly allowance of Corps members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), to N77,000.
According to press statement he signed and made available to journalists in Bauchi on Friday, Khamis Musa described the increase in the monthly allowance of NYSC members as timely, considering the rising cost of living in the country.
He said that the new allowance will help the Corps members to cushion the effects of rising inflation, the rising cost of living, hikes in transportation fare, electricity and the removal of fuel subsidy.
Khamis Musa also said that the president in his magnanimity approved N77,000 as allowance for Corps members, pointing out that the gesture portrays the government sensitivity for the plights of the masses who are currently traumatized by the hardship in the country.
According to him, “Let me emphatically acknowledge the efforts of the federal government in being considerate to the plights of corps members at this critical time that the Nigeria is going through a very harsh economic downturn.
“The manifestation of hardship, and poverty as a result of the soaring cost of living, has negatively devastated Nigerians in all facets of life. I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude for this laudable gesture which demonstrates the commitment of the president to empower Nigerian youths and acknowledge their inevitable contributions to national development.
“The President’s leadership and vision for a prosperous Nigeria are truly inspiring. This increase in allowance will positively boost the morale of the corps members and make them to give their best during their service year.
“The President’s dedication to the welfare of corps members has reiterated the present administration commitment towards the welfare of its citizens, which corp members are inclusive.”
Recall that Khamis Musa Darazo donated his NYSC allowance to support Tinubu’s presidential ambition during the 2023 elections.
