An NYSC member earned widespread praise after using his entire April allowance to pay the school fees of 50 students, surprising them with the generous gesture in class.
A serving member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has received widespread praise online after using his April allowance to settle the school fees of 50 students under his care.
The touching moment was captured in a video that has since gone viral across social media platforms. In the clip, the corps member explained that he had decided to sacrifice his monthly allowance to support the students academically, even though they had no idea what he planned to do.
While walking to the school, he revealed that he wanted the gesture to come as a surprise to the students.
According to him, all 50 students were completely unaware that he had chosen to spend his entire April allowance on paying their fees.
He said he wanted to see their reactions after making the announcement personally in class.
On getting to the classroom, the corps member addressed the students and informed them of his decision, leaving many of them visibly shocked and emotional.
The announcement immediately sparked excitement and gratitude among the students, with many unable to hide their surprise at the unexpected act of kindness.
The emotional video quickly gained attention online, where many Nigerians applauded the corps member for his generosity, especially at a time when the country is battling economic difficulties and rising living costs.
Several social media users described the gesture as inspiring and proof that genuine compassion still exists.
One commenter noted that acts of kindness like that often bring blessings and rewards, even if they do not come immediately.
Some people, however, questioned how affordable the school fees must have been for one person’s allowance to cover 50 students.
Others praised the corps member’s sense of leadership and selflessness, comparing his action to the extravagant spending often associated with politicians.
Many agreed that the young man’s decision restored hope and showed that ordinary citizens can still make meaningful impacts in society despite limited resources.
The video has continued to trend online, with thousands of people commending the corps member for putting the welfare and education of the students ahead of his personal needs.
