Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, announced that corps members will begin receiving a new monthly allowance of ₦77,000 from February 2025.
Ahmed shared the news with the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina on Thursday, stating that the increment is part of the 2025 Federal Government budget and will take effect once the budget is passed.
“This month (January) has already ended, but once the budget is passed, by next month (February), you will start receiving ₦77,000 instead of the usual ₦33,000,” he said.
He reassured corps members of the government’s commitment to their welfare and security, urging them to serve diligently.
“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,” Ahmed added.
