The federal government has approved an upward review of the monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members from N33,000 to N77,000, effective July 2024.
According to a statement by Caroline Embu, the acting spokesperson of the NYSC, the development is in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
The statement further reveals that 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.
