The Federal Government has approved the increment of Corps Members’ monthly allowance to Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira (N77,000) with effect from July 2024.
According to a statement by the NYSC Acting Director Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embuhis, informed to that effect 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.
The Pinnacle Times gathered that this is in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
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).
