Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, director-general of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, says corps members will start receiving a new monthly allowance of N77,000 starting February 2025.
The NYSC boss made this known on Thursday while speaking to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State.
Ahmed noted that the increment has been included in the 2025 Federal Government budget and will take effect once the budget is passed.
“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,” he said.
While reiterating the government’s commitment to corps members’ welfare and security, Ahmed assured corps members that they would not be posted to areas with security threats.
“We will not send our corps members to any areas with security challenges. Wherever we send them, they should be assured that the place is safe and secure for them to serve,” he said.
