Published on March 20, 2025

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Director General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, has confirmed that corps members will receive a new monthly allowance of N77,000 starting March 2025.

This development comes after the NYSC announced plans to increase the allowance from N33,000 to N77,000, in line with the new Minimum Wage of N70,000 approved by President Bola Tinubu in July 2024.

During an interactive session with corps members at the Wuse and Garki NYSC Zonal Offices in Abuja, Nafiu reassured corps members that their welfare remains a top priority.

“With effect from March, you are going to receive the sum of Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira as your monthly allowance. NYSC is good at record-keeping, and I can assure you that your money will be paid. The nation and the Scheme appreciate you,” he stated.

He also commended the vision of the NYSC’s founding fathers, describing the scheme as an essential institution that fosters national unity by exposing graduates to diverse cultures across Nigeria.

The DG further assured corps members that NYSC management would continue to instil values such as patriotism, discipline, leadership, and teamwork in each new batch.
