Members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have confirmed payment of N77,000 monthly allowance.
The new monthly allowance was approved in September 2024 following the recent approval of a new minimum wage for the country.
The implementation had however suffered some delays.
Corps members across various states have confirmed receiving the increased stipend, though reports indicate that payments are being made in phases, leaving some still awaiting disbursement.
NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, reaffirmed this development during an interaction with corps members in Abuja, assuring them that all payments would be completed.
Similarly, Minister of Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande, addressed the issue on Channels Television’s Politics Today, confirming that the disbursement process had been finalized, paving the way for payments to commence.
Corps members in Kwara, Kano, and Yobe have reported receiving their allowances, with indications that 2024 Batch A Stream 2 members were prioritized in the initial phase.
