NYSC Assures Corps Members Of Getting ₦77,000 Monthly Allowance Soon



The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has assured corps members in the country of receiving ₦77,000 as their monthly allowance very soon 

Director General of the corps , Brigadier General YD Ahmed gave the assurance in a statement by NYSC spokesperson Caroline Embu on Tuesday in Abuja

General Ahmed, who said his administration places a high priority on Corps welfare, added that arrangements for the payment of new corps members’ allowance have been concluded.

The increase of the monthly allowance for corps members followed the review of Nigeria’s minimum wage from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000 in July 2024.

In 2020, the NYSC increased the allowances of corps members from ₦19,800 to ₦33,000, months after a new minimum wage bill of ₦30,000 was signed.


 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had in July 2024, signed the minimum wage bill into law, ending months of deliberations between government authorities, labour unions, and the private sector

Since then some of the 36 States including Lagos, Ogun , Rivers, Oyo, Ondo and Kogi had come up with wages above the national minimum of ₦70,000
