BREAKING: FG Finally Increases Corps Members Allowance to N77,000

;

The allowance of Corp members under the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has now been increased from N33,000 to N77,000. This was announced by the NYSC via its social media handles. The notice is as follows:

The Federal Government has approved the increment of Corps Members' monthly allowance to Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira (N77,000) with effect from July 2024.

This 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.

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 the 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 increment, the monthly allowance for Corps Members was Thirty-Three Thousand Naira (N33,000).
