FG begins payment of N44,000 arrears to ex-NYSC members

The Federal Government has commenced the payment of N44,000 minimum wage arrears to former members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The commencement of the payment fulfils an earlier promise tied to the recent upward review of corps members’ monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000.

The payment applies to those who completed their service before the new allowance took effect earlier this year.

Federal workers write Tinubu over unpaid arrears, threaten protest

Former corps members have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm receipt of the payment, expressing their gratitude and relief.

A user, @Kingpin_black1, wrote: ”Thank you NYSC. Thank you President Tinubu. Nigeria will be great again.”

Similarly, @ifeoluwa_X stated: ”Just got my alert. I almost deleted my NYSC account. Thank you FG.”
