Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has announced that starting in February 2025, corps members will receive an increased monthly allowance of N77,000.
Ahmed shared the news on Thursday during his address to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina. He explained that the allowance hike has been included in the 2025 Federal Government budget.
“While January has come to an end, once the budget is approved, corps members will begin receiving N77,000 instead of the usual N33,000 starting next month,” he stated.
The NYSC DG emphasized that the Federal Government had approved the increase and encouraged corps members to express their gratitude through commitment and dedication throughout their service year.
Ahmed also reassured the corps members of their safety, stressing that they would not be deployed to areas with security challenges.
“We will ensure that our corps members are not sent to locations with security threats. Wherever they are posted, they can be confident that it is a safe and secure place for their service,” he assured.
