Many have expressed hope that the enhanced allowance will also encourage more graduates to participate actively in the NYSC program.

As the new allowance takes effect in February, corps members are advised to stay updated on official NYSC channels for further details and guidelines regarding the payment process.

This development underscores the government's efforts to invest in the youth and ensure their well-being as they play a vital role in shaping Nigeria's future.
