Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) director-general, declared Thursday that corps members will start receiving ₦77,000 in February 2025.
The 2025 Federal Government budget includes this modification, which will be put into effect after it is approved.
During his speech to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State, NYSC Director-General Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed informed them of this development.
He said: “The Federal Government has already approved the increment of your allowance. It is no longer news; what we have the approval in our hands. What we are waiting for is just the passage of the 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 assured corps members they would not be assigned to regions with security issues, underlining the government’s dedication to their safety and well-being.
This increase is intended to give corps members better financial support throughout their service year. It demonstrates the government’s acknowledgement of the critical role they play in the development of the country.
