An NYSC corps member has taken to social media to proudly showcase his first meal after receiving the newly increased N77,000 allowance from the federal government.
It would be recalled that corps members previously earned a monthly stipend of N33,000 until the recent increment was officially implemented, taking effect nationwide less than 24 hours ago.
Amid the excitement of the significant salary boost, a corps member identified as @bj_black19 took to the video-sharing platform, TikTok, to share a short clip of his “first quality meal” following the raise.
In the video, he could be seen enjoying a well-prepared meal, expressing his gratitude towards NYSC for the allowance increase. He humorously captioned the video, “Thank you NYSC. Last last men don taste 77K 😂.”
The post has since attracted massive engagement online, with thousands of netizens reacting in the comment section. While some celebrated the increase, others playfully debated how long the money would last, given the current economic situation in the country.
Many corps members have also taken to social media to share their thoughts on how they plan to spend their new allowance, with some considering investments, savings, or even treating themselves to small luxuries.
