The Federal Government has approved an increase in the monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members to N77,000, effective July 2024. The increase aligns with the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024, significantly boosting the previous allowance of N33,000. This decision, welcomed by the NYSC Director-General, is expected to uplift corps members' morale and commitment.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has confirmed that there has been no official directive to increase the monthly allowance for corps members to N70,000. Despite social media rumors, the NYSC urges verification through proper channels to avoid misinformation. The current allowance remains N33,000 after its 2020 increase from N19,800.
