In a recent tweet from his verified account, former Nigerian Senator Shehu Sani addressed the excitement and subsequent disappointment experienced by National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members regarding a proposed increase in their allowance.
Sani’s tweet read: “The Youth Corpers jubilated over the 70k increment only to be told it’s fake news. The FG should just turn the fake to real; this fake is a good fake.”
The tweet reflects the enthusiasm of corps members who had celebrated the reported allowance increase, only to later learn that the information was false.
Sani’s comment suggests that the proposed increment, despite being unconfirmed, would be a welcome improvement and encourages the Federal Government to consider making it a reality.
