Friday, September 27, 2024 -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.
