The Nigerian Government has approved the increase of Youth Corps Members’ monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000 with effect from July 2024.
This is in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
The increment was contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated September 25, 2024 and signed by the Chairman, Ekpo Nta.
Prior to this, the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier-General YD Ahmed, had paid an advocacy visit to the Chairman in which he solicited for a robust welfare package for Youth Corps Members.
The NYSC boss is thankful to the Federal Government for the timely gesture and is optimistic that it will not only bring much needed succour to the Youth Corps Members, but also boost their morale and motivate them to do even more, in their service to the country.
