NYSC members react as Makinde raises Oyo monthly allowance to N15,000

The Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde has on Thursday increased the monthly allowance of their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in the state to N15,000 from N5,000.

Speaking in a tweet, Makinde assured them that the issues raised by the NYSC State Commandant would be addressed.

However, the announcement, one day after he reduced the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) tuition fees, sent the graduates into jubilation.

The governor disclosed that it was during his youth service in Port Harcourt that he got a job and met his wife.

“I am an example of how the national youth service could foster national integration. I wished them the best for the future.”

You will recall that in 2019, Makinde increased the monthly allowance from N4,000 to N5,000, during an induction program for Batch ‘B’ Streams I & II.

We visited the NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp at Iseyin this evening. I assured the youth corps members that we would address the issues raised by the Commandant about the state of the camp. I also told them we would increase their allowance from N5,000 to N15,000. pic.twitter.com/pwaYoRCkwT
