The Federal Government has approved the increase of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) 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 disclosed 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 has appreciated 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.
Recall that the monthly allowance for Corps Members was Thirty-Three Thousand Naira (N33,000).
