Nigeria - The governor of Ekiti state turned "Human Right Activist" Ayodele Fayose and has called on the Nigerian government to increase allowance of members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The governor said Nigerian must collectively join him to mandate the federal government to increase the allowance from N19,800 to N50,000.

Let us collectively tell the FG that N19k monthly allowance is no longer enough for Corp members. Let this APC change the allowance to N50k— Peter Ayodele Fayose (@GovAyoFayose) February 4, 2017
The corps members' allowance popularly known as ‘allawee’ was increased by former president Goodluck Jonathan in July 2011, from N9,775 to N19,800.
Jonathan approved the increment in a letter that was sent to the office of the director general of NYSC.
Although the increment was approved in July, 2011 the payment of the N19,800 allowance was with effect from March of the same year.
The then DG of NYSC, Maharatzu Tsiga in a statement had said:
“They (the corps members) are serving their fatherland, we are posting them to states outside their state of origin, nobody gives them anything except the allowances and it has been stipulated in the law establishing the NYSC that the Federal, States, local government and other stakeholders should periodically review the allowances of the Corps members.”
However, in a similar noted governor Fayose in a tweet said a new increment by the current President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration will be seen as the promised ‘Change’ mantra of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party.
