The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has announced that corps members will begin receiving a new monthly allowance of N77,000 starting February 2025.
The NYSC DG made the announcement on Thursday while speaking to 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State.
Ahmed said that the increase has been included in the 2025 Federal Government budget and would take effect once it is passed.
“This month (January) has already ended, but once the budget is passed, by next month (February), you will start receiving N77,000 instead of the usual N33,000,” he said.
Ahmed highlighted the government’s commitment to corps members’ care and security and urged them to return the favour by serving conscientiously.
He assured corps members that they would not be assigned to regions with security risks, saying, “We will not send our corps members to any areas with security challenges. Wherever we send them, they should be assured that the place is safe and secure for them to serve,” he added.
