The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has announced that corps members will begin receiving an increased monthly allowance of ₦77,000 starting February 2025.
Speaking to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State on Thursday, Ahmed confirmed that the Federal Government has approved the increment, which has been included in the 2025 budget.
“The Federal Government has already approved the increment of your allowance. It is no longer news; we have the approval in our hands. What we are waiting for is just the passage of the budget. This month (January) has already ended, but once the budget is passed, by next month (February), you will start receiving ₦77,000 instead of the usual ₦33,000,” he stated.
The NYSC DG urged corps members to uphold discipline, honesty, and perseverance while avoiding any form of misconduct that could hinder their future ambitions.
He also encouraged them to respect the cultures and traditions of their host communities and actively contribute through personal or group Community Development Service (CDS) projects that will benefit their hosts.
