Corps Members in Nigeria to Receive Increased Monthly Allowance
In a significant development for youth service participants, the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General YD Ahmed, has announced a forthcoming increase in the monthly allowance for corps members to N77,000.
This announcement, made on Tuesday, comes as part of the NYSC’s ongoing commitment to improve the welfare of its members. Ahmed confirmed that all arrangements for the implementation of the new allowance have been finalized, paving the way for its imminent rollout across the nation.
During a recent event, Ahmed reiterated his dedication to addressing the needs of corps members, spotlighting the introduction of a new bus aimed at easing transportation challenges experienced by both corps members and NYSC staff in the Federal Capital Territory.
He expressed appreciation for the supportive relationship between the NYSC and various partners, including a generous donation from a notable insurance company, which underscores the collaborative efforts made to enhance the operational capabilities of the corps.
This increase is expected to provide much-needed financial relief and support to corps members nationwide, reinforcing NYSC’s commitment to its participants’ welfare.
