FG Increases Corps Members Allowance To N77,000

The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved the increase of Corps Members’ monthly allowance to Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira (N77,000), effective July 2024.

This development aligns with the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.

According to a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated 25th September 2024, and signed by Chairman Mr Ekpo Nta, this increase reflects the government’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of Corps Members.

The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, had previously met with the Chairman to advocate for a comprehensive welfare package for Corps Members. 

The NYSC Boss expressed gratitude to the Federal Government, noting that this timely gesture will not only provide much-needed support to Corps Members but also boost their morale and motivation to serve the nation.

Before this increase, Corps Members received a monthly allowance of Thirty-Three Thousand Naira (N33,000).
