The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has announced that corps members will begin receiving an increased monthly allowance of N77,000 starting February 2025.
Ahmed made this known while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State, explaining that the increment has already been factored into 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 N77,000 instead of the usual N33,000,” he stated.
The NYSC DG reassured corps members of the government’s commitment to their welfare and security, urging them to remain dedicated and diligent in their service to the nation.
Regarding security concerns, Ahmed assured corps members that they would not be deployed to volatile areas.
“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.
