Federal Government Increases NYSC Monthly Allowance to N77,000
The Federal Government has approved an increase in the monthly stipend for members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), raising it to N77,000, effective from July 2024.
This decision follows the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
Caroline Embu, the acting Director of Information and Public Relations for NYSC, confirmed the development in an official statement.
The new allowance is based on a directive from the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission.
The commission communicated the change in a letter dated September 25, 2024, signed by its chairman, Ekpo Nta.
Prior to this announcement, Brigadier General Y.D. Ahmed, the Director General of NYSC, had advocated for an improved welfare package for corps members.
During a visit to the chairman of the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission, Ahmed highlighted the need for better financial support for NYSC participants.
He expressed gratitude to the Federal Government for responding positively to this request.
The NYSC leader believes this increase will significantly benefit corps members, providing them with much-needed financial relief and enhancing their motivation to serve the nation more diligently.
He is optimistic that the improved stipend will encourage corps members to take on their responsibilities with renewed enthusiasm.
Before this adjustment, the monthly allowance for NYSC members was N33,000.
The new increment, therefore, marks a substantial improvement and reflects the government’s recognition of the crucial role that these young individuals play in national development.
