The Nigerian Government has approved the payment of N33,000 monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC MEMBERS).
The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, relayed this during a session with some corps members at the service’s Bauchi State Secretariat.
He explained that the approval was made in line with the implementation of the new Nigeria National Minimum Wage by the Federal Government.
“Contrary to the various amounts being circulated on the social media, the sum of N33,000 had been approved as the new rate,” Ibrahim said.
He said provision had been made for the new allowance in the year 2020 Budget, adding that payment would commence as soon as funds are released by the appropriate authorities.
In September, Ibrahim had hinted that the monthly allowance of corps members would be increased “immediately the federal government starts the payment of the new minimum wage”.
“Your monthly allowance would be increased immediately the Federal Government starts the payment of the new minimum wage to all public servants nationwide,” he said in an address delivered at the NYSC orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.
Sunday Dare, the minister of youth and sports development, also confirmed the increase although he did not provide details.
