Reports state that the Director General of the
NYSC, Johnson Bamidele Olawumi asserts that the
federal government has approved N500 as daily
feeding allowance for all National Youth Service
Corps (NYSC) members. Olawumi is said to have
disclosed this at a House of Representatives
Committee hearing on the N4,000 online
registration fee mandated for corps members. This
should amount to a sum total of N38,900.
According to leadership, civil society group
launched a ‘Say No Campaign’ to protest the
registration fee. It was during the hearing that
Olawumi made the announcement about the new
feeding allowance. He disclosed that the federal
government approved N500 as feeding allowance
for each corp member per day.
This should amount to about N15,000 per month
meaning the allowance should be increased from
the present N19,800 paid to each Corps Member to
N38,900.
