The Kaduna State Coordinator of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Hassan Taura, said that the Federal Government has approved an upward review of feeding allowance for corps members.
The coordinator made this known while fielding questions from journalists on Tuesday, shortly after the opening/swearing-in ceremony for the 2023 Batch B stream 2 orientation course in Kaduna.
Mr Taura, who did not specify the amount reviewed, said: âfirst, the federal government in its wisdom has reviewed the feeding allowance of the corps members.â
The coordinator who promised to prioritize corps membersâ welfare in his state said, âI told them (corps members) Iâm going to make their food of good quality and quantity.
âI told them I will ensure that they wonât spend their money in the camp market. This is the promise I made to them and Iâm fulfilling them,â he said.
âIâm going to feed them in such a way that they will not spend from their pocket. They donât even have the money, so it is our duty to ensure we feed them well.â
