The announcement was made through the Nigerian Stories official X (formerly Twitter) account, quoting a government minister who emphasized that the allowance boost forms part of Tinubu’s comprehensive effort to uplift the welfare of young Nigerians.
The minister highlighted that this move is aimed at empowering graduates across the nation, ensuring that the NYSC program not only serves as a rite of passage but also provides financial relief to participants.
