Uncertainty Looms Over NYSC Allowance Increase: Tinubu Government Addresses Concerns
In a recent update, the Tinubu-led government has shed light on the possibility of increasing the monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members. Contrary to expectations, the Federal Government, through the Minister of Youth Development, Jamila Bio-Ibrahim, stated that there are no immediate plans for a raise, citing challenges such as food inflation and the rising cost of living in the nation……CONTINUE READING....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Bio-Ibrahim assured that despite resource constraints, the government is committed to finding innovative solutions to ensure the welfare of corps members. The minister acknowledged the economic challenges, stating, “We can’t say for sure; we all understand that resources are dwindling, even oil revenues are not as they used to be, but we will find innovative ways of ensuring that corps members’ welfare is taken care of.”
It’s worth noting that former President Muhammadu Buhari had increased the allowance for corps members from N19,000 to N33,000 in January 2020, a year after signing the new minimum wage bill into law in April 2019.
In a broader perspective, Minister Bio-Ibrahim revealed that the government is embarking on a reform of the NYSC scheme, aiming to transform it into a revenue-generating entity. She emphasized, “When it comes to remuneration and looking totally at the holistic funding of the NYSC, we have announced a reform of the NYSC scheme itself. So, we want the scheme to go beyond that social programme of government to be that revenue-generating scheme and agency.”

Stay Out Or Get Burned: Oyo Governor Issues Searing Warning To Monarchs Over Political Interference.
Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has issued a stern warning to the state’s monarchs, advising them to stay out of partisan politics and maintain neutrality so they can remain impartial figures for everyone.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on Saturday in Eruwa at the inaugural coronation anniversary of the Eleruwa of Eruwa, Samuel Adegbola—where he was also installed as the Aare Asoludero of Ibarapaland—Makinde cautioned that traditional rulers who meddle in politics risk public abuse and insults. He stressed that preserving the dignity of traditional institutions requires embracing all political figures equally rather than taking sides.
Addressing his political future as the APM flagbearer for the 2027 election, Makinde announced his intention to take his presidential campaign nationwide. He noted that his bid to lead the country will not be limited to any single region, as he plans to travel extensively to share his vision with citizens across Nigeria.
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, announced that Rivers State’s political coalition will adopt Rotimi Amaechi’s past philosophy of “brotherhood” to support President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Speaking on Saturday in the Ikwerre Local Government Area, Wike referenced Amaechi’s rationale from the 2015 election—where Amaechi argued that brotherhood isn’t about blood ties but shared support, choosing Muhammadu Buhari over Goodluck Jonathan. Wike intends to apply this exact logic against Amaechi, who is now a vice-presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Wike criticized Amaechi’s record as Minister of Transportation, claiming he neglected Rivers State while funneling the University of Transportation project to Daura in Katsina State in a failed bid for higher office. In contrast, Wike praised President Tinubu for recognizing the state, pointing to recent federal appointments of University of Port Harcourt and University of Environment vice-chancellors as proof that Tinubu is the true “brother” deserving of their votes in 2027.
