The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has announced that corps members will begin receiving a monthly allowance of N77,000 starting from February 2025.
General Ahmed made this announcement on Thursday while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream 11 corps members in Katsina.
He explained that the new allowance has been included in the 2025 Federal Government’s budget and will be implemented once the budget is passed.
According to General Ahmed, “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 that the new allowance was approved by the Federal Government and urged corps members to reciprocate the government’s gesture during their service year.

The NYSC boss also reiterated his commitment to the welfare and security of corps members across the country. He assured them that they will not be deployed to areas with security threats.
It can be recalled that the scheme, last year, announced an increase in the monthly allowance paid to corp members following the minimum wage increase from N30,000 to N70,000.
