FG increases corps members allowance to N77k monthly | The Round Table The federal government has approved the increase of the monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members from N33,000 to N77,000.
The upward review will take consequence from July 2024.
In a statement on Wednesday, Caroline Embu, the acting spokesperson of the NYSC, stated the development is in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
“This 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,” the statement reads.
“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.”
