NYSC allowance hike part of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda – Minister of Youth Development
The Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, has linked the recent increase in National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) allowances to President Bola Tinubu’s *Renewed Hope Agenda*, which focuses on youth empowerment and development.
Under the new directive, NYSC members will now receive a monthly allowance of ₦77,000, a significant rise from the previous ₦33,000, starting from July 2024.
In a statement, Dr. Ibrahim underscored the crucial role her ministry played in ensuring the welfare of Corps Members is prioritized under the Tinubu administration.
“The President’s vision for Nigerian youth has always been clear—he supports any initiative that improves their welfare and prospects.
This allowance increase is a direct reflection of that commitment, and the Ministry is pleased that this has become a reality,” she stated.
The Minister praised the NYSC leadership, particularly Brigadier-General YD Ahmed, for their advocacy in securing better conditions for Corps Members.

The Minister assured that this development is just the beginning of many more initiatives that the Ministry of Youth Development will pursue to uplift the lives of young Nigerians.
