Corps members across Nigeria are set to receive a significant boost in their monthly allowance, as the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced an increase to N77,000, effective February 2025.
The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, made this revelation while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State. He confirmed that the salary adjustment has been incorporated into the 2025 Federal Government budget and will take effect once the budget is approved.
"January has already ended, but once the budget is passed, from next month (February), you will start receiving N77,000 instead of the usual N33,000," Ahmed stated.
Reaffirming the government’s commitment to corps members' welfare and security, he urged them to serve the nation with dedication. He also assured them that no corps member would be posted to areas with security risks.
"We will not send our corps members to any areas with security challenges. Wherever they are posted, they can be assured that the location is safe and secure for their service,"he added.
