GOODNEWS: NYSC Allowance To Be Increase

The Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Students and Youth Affairs, Mr. Jude Imagwe, have announced that the allowance of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members will soon be increased.
Imagwe, who made the announcement at the NYCS Permanent Orientation Camp at Mangu, Plateau State, said that the current allowance of N19,800 is insufficient in the face of current economic condition in the country.
He assured that President Jonathan will do something about the allowance as corps members’ welfare is paramount to him.
The presidential aide charged the youth corpers to set a target for themselves and start from the scratch in order to create new jobs because the employment generation in the country is failing.
In her welcome address, the NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs. Lios Benjamin Meller, said that she could not but be thankful for the support given to her administration.
