The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has announced that corps members will begin receiving a monthly allowance of N77,000 from February 2025.
Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, the NYSC director general disclosed this Thursday while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina.
Ahmed explained that the increase is part of the 2025 Federal Government budget.
“This month (January) has already ended, but once the budget is passed. By next month (February), you will start receiving N77,000 instead of the usual N33,000,” he said.
He noted that the increment was approved by the Federal Government and urged corps members to show appreciation by being dedicated during their service year.
The NYSC boss also reiterated his commitment to the welfare and security of corps members across the country. He assured them that they will not be deployed to areas with security threats.
It can be recalled that the scheme, last year, announced an increase in the monthly allowance paid to corp members following the minimum wage increase from N30,000 to N70,000.
