From Ajiya Ayuba, Bauchi

The Arewa Youths Awareness on Leadership and Election in Bauchi State has commended President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for increasing the monthly allowance of the members of the National Youth Service Corps, (NYSC) from N33,000 to N77,000.

In a press statement signed by the chairman, Khamis Musa Darazo and made available to newsmen in Bauchi, described the increase in the monthly allowance of NYSC members as timely, considering the rising cost of living in the country.

Darazo 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.

He said that the president in his magnanimity approved N77,000 as allowance for Corp 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.

He further said that “Let me emphatically acknowledge the efforts of the federal government in being considerate to the plights of corp members at this critical time that Nigeria is going through a very harsh economic downturn.

According to the chairman, Khamis Musa “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”
