Director General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has said corps members will start receiving monthly allowance of N77,000 from February 2025.
Graduates undergoing the scheme are currently on N33,000 per month.
Ahmed broke the news on Thursday while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream 11 corps members in Katsina.
According to him, the allowance had been captured in the nation’s 2025 budget.
“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,” the NYSC DG said.
He emphasised his commitment to the welfare and security of corps members across the country, assuring them that they will not be deployed to security threat communities for their service.
According to him, “We will not send our corps members to wherever we have challenges of security threats. Wherever we send them, they should be less assured that the place is safe and secured for them to serve.”
