The NYSC Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, September 25, 2024.

Before the increase, the monthly allowance for corps members was N33,000.

Embu noted that the increase was in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.

She stated: “This is contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated September 25 and signed by the Chairman, Mr Ekpo Nta.

“Prior to this, the Director-General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed, had paid an advocacy visit to the chairman in which he solicited for a robust welfare package for corps members.”

Embu said the NYSC boss was thankful to the federal government for the gesture which he described as timely.

The NYSC spokesperson added that she was optimistic that it would not only bring much-needed succour to the corps members but also boost their morale and motivate them to do more in their service to the nation.
