Cost of Living: NYSC Members Demand Implementation of Allowance Increase

In a bold move, members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have rallied together to call on the Nigerian government to fulfill its promise regarding the increase in their monthly allowances.

This issue has gained momentum as corps members express frustration over the lack of implementation of the enhancement that was announced back in September 2024.

The NYSC scheme, established to foster unity and promote national development through the engagement of young graduates in various sectors, has faced increased scrutiny over the financial challenges faced by corps members. The initial announcement of an allowance increase was met with widespread approval among the youth, who anticipated a boost in their financial support during their service year.

However, as the months have rolled by, many corps members find themselves in increasingly difficult situations, prompting them to voice their concerns. They argue that the current allowance does not align with the rising cost of living and is inadequate for the basic needs of those serving across diverse regions of the country.

In response to this growing discontent, representatives of the corps members have organized peaceful protests and social media campaigns to amplify their demands. They are urging the government to take immediate action and fulfill the commitment made last September to ensure that the promised allowance increases.
