A representative group for the National Youth Service Corps members have visited President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja to personally thank him for the increase of their monthly allowance to N33,000.
Four of the corp members Amina Umar Bello, Agatha Nwakego Aniobi Yinka Olayinka Kolawole and Tim Abasiandikan Udo were led by the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, and the Director General of the scheme, Brigadier General Ibrahim Shuaibu.
“The implementation in January, when we least expected it brought tears of joy to us as we had doubts of the promises earlier made. You have demonstrated that you are a loving and caring father committed to the welfare of his children,” a spokesman for the corps members said.
“The increase is a wake-up call to us to show more commitment to the affairs of our fatherland. We are great stakeholders in our collective determination of building a prosperous and united Nigeria, the future belongs to us,” they added.
