Female NYSC Members Should Receive N100,000 Allowance – Shehu Sani

?

Shehu Sani has asked the federal government to pay female corps members N100,000.

?

The former Kaduna Central Senator made the call in reaction to the increment of Corp members allowance to N77,000.

?

Posting on X, the former lawmaker said the allowance of female Corp members should have been increased because they suffer more.

?

He wrote: “The increase in the allowance of the Youth Corpers to 77k is commendable. But those of the Female Corpers should have been jerked up to 100k since they suffer more.”

?

The Federal Government had said the increment of NYSC allowance would take effect from July 2024.

?

A statement by Caroline Embu, Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, NYSC, said the increment was in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.

?

This was contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated September 25, 2024, and signed by its chairman, Ekpo Nta.
