Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has announced an increment in the monthly stipend of National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, members deployed in the state from N5,000 to N15,000.
Makinde disclosed this on Thursday when he visited the NYSC permanent camp at Iseyin, Oyo State, to the excitement of the corps members.
The governor in a tweet on Twitter said, “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.
“I also shared with them how it was during my national youth service in Port Harcourt that I got a job and met and married my lovely wife, @iamominini. So, I am an example of how the national youth service could foster national integration. I wished them the best for the future.”
Recall that the Makinde administration had in 2019 increased the monthly stipend of corps members from N4,000 to N5,000 when he attended the induction programme for the 2019 Batch ‘B’ Streams I and II corps members deployed to the state civil service.
