A Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira (N77,000) monthly allowance has been approved by the Federal Government for Corps Members.
A statement signed by Caroline Embu, Acting Director Information and Public Relations, disclosed that the increment is in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage(Amendment) Act 2024, and was contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated 25th September 2024 and signed by the Chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta.
Prior to this, the Director General, NYSC Brigadier General YD Ahmed, had paid an advocacy visit to the Chairman in which he solicited for a robust welfare package for Corps Members.
The NYSC Boss is thankful to the Federal Government for the timely gesture and is optimistic that it will not only bring much needed succour to the Corps Members, but also boost their morale and motivate them to do even more, in their service to the nation.
Before this increase, the monthly allowance for Corps Members was Thirty-Three Thousand Naira (N33,000).
