Sani Urges Higher Allowance of N100,000 for Female Corps Members

Former Senator for Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, has called for an increased allowance of N100,000 for female members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
This suggestion comes in response to the recent announcement of an allowance increase to N77,000 for all corps members.
Sani expressed his views through a post on X, highlighting the unique challenges faced by female corps members.
He argued that their allowance should be higher due to the additional difficulties they endure during their service year.
He emphasized that while the overall increment is a positive development, special consideration should be given to female corps members who often deal with extra responsibilities and vulnerabilities.
In his words, “The increase in the allowance of the Youth Corpers to 77k is commendable.
But those of the Female Corpers should have been jerked up to 100k since they suffer more.”
The Federal Government announced that the new allowance structure for NYSC members will take effect starting July 2024.
This increment aligns with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act of 2024.
The information was confirmed by a statement released by Caroline Embu, Acting Director of Information and Public Relations for the NYSC, citing a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission.
The letter, dated September 25, 2024, was signed by the Commission’s Chairman, Ekpo Nta.
The call for additional support for female corps members has sparked discussions on the unique experiences faced by women during their mandatory service.
Many argue that recognizing these challenges through increased allowances would be a step toward more equitable treatment.
The debate continues as stakeholders consider the best ways to support all corps members while acknowledging the diverse difficulties they face across the country.
