The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has announced that corps members will begin receiving a revised monthly allowance of N77,000 starting from February 2025.
Addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina, the Director General said that the increment has been incorporated in the 2025 Federal Government 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 said that the approval for the new allowance came from the Federal Government, encouraging corps members to show appreciation by being diligent during their service year.
He reaffirmed his commitment to their welfare and security, assured assuring them that they would not be posted to areas experiencing security threats.
“We will not send our corps members to wherever we have challenges of security threats. Wherever we send them, they should be less assured that the place is safe and secured for them to serve.”
