The trending topic of the moment is the ₦33,000 allowance that National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members are receiving for September.

This amount falls significantly short of the ₦77,000 that was approved by the Federal Government. 

Back in June, an agreement was reached between the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Federal Government regarding a new minimum wage set at ₦70,000.

Following this, President Tinubu officially signed the new wage into law on July 29.

Just last week, the government announced that this new minimum wage would be implemented for corps members, along with a promise of back pay for July and August.

However, many corps members were taken aback when they received payments recently, with the majority finding their September allowance still at a disappointing ₦33,000, which is ₦44,000 less than the promised amount.

This has sparked widespread frustration among Nigerian youths, who are expressing their disappointment and confusion over the situation.

While some corps members did receive payments just days ago, most are left wondering why the full allowance has not been disbursed.

This discrepancy has left many puzzled and questioning the integrity of the promises made by the government.

Amid this uncertainty, there is still a glimmer of hope among the corps members.

Many are optimistic that the outstanding arrears will be settled together by the end of October, which may bring some relief to their financial struggles.

The discontent over the current situation is palpable, highlighting the challenges that young Nigerians face as they navigate the complexities of service and economic hardship.
