CSO Commends Tinubu for Implementing 77k NYSC Allowance

Save Nigeria Movement (SNM), a national civil society organization in collaboration with Freelance Journalist Federation (FJF) has described the payment of 77,000 corps members allowance by the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led administration as a commendable fulfillment of the renewed hope vision on welfare for all Nigerians.

Recall that after signing into law the 2024 Minimum Wage Bill by the current administration, payment of the minimum wage to Corps members was delayed, promoting civil rights organizations to intervene on behalf of the corps members.

In a press release signed by Joseph Uyeh, Country Director for SNM and Fidelis Semaka, the Executive Director of FJF, a copy of which was sighted by our Abuja correspondent, the rights group thanked Mr. President for listening to the calls of CSOs on the issue of corps allowances

“We want to appreciate our President and Commander in-Chief, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for prioritizing the welfare of Nigerians in his renewed hope agenda, especially in the area of youth empowerment.

“The new Director General of NYSC, Brig Gen Olakunle Oleseye Nafiu must also be commended for facilitating this payment despite spending few months in office as well as for his vision and commitment to the renewed hopeope agenda of Mr. President as it aligns with the vision of the NYSC.

“Through an unprecedented culture of continuity which is lacking in most government agencies, the NYSC has continued to excel in almost all it’s programs and policies. This professional and patriotic culture of continuity exhibited by the management has made the NYSC a self-sustaining institution over successive regimes

“The Scheme has already distinguished itself as a skill acquisition hub under its flagship skills acquisition centers currently running across the 36 States and the Federal Capital Territory. These exploits are meant to promote self sufficiency and job creation for our teeming graduate population. We commend the management of NYSC and urge them to keep up the tempo”, the release stated.

The groups called on all corps members “to reciprocate this gesture of goodwill by upholding the highest tenets of patriotism at all times since Mr. President has demonstrated sufficient desire to treat them as privileged citizens.

“There is no gainsaying that the implementation of the (N77,000) naira minimum wage has brought succour to corps members and their families. This should be a motivation to corps members and indeed all Nigerians to suppprt the administration of President Bola Ahmed which has indeed made Nigerians proud by this singular act”.
