As far as I am concerned, the art of governance is a continuous process, that is, administration is passed on to administration by different administrators, Administrators may come up with new policies or modify the existing ones, however, no government in its own capability is strong enough to set aside the "modus operandi" of government, especially that which is a law and which affect the fourth arm of government(civil service), the history of minimum wage and it's implementation dates back to the first republic, the Gowon government, shagari government, the Obasanjo government and the predecessor of the present regime, the Jonathan government,all passed into law the minimum wage and implemented the same, as from the day it became law. Specifically, the Jonathan regime, increased the national minimum wage from 7000 to 18000 as at March 2011, implementation began in July that same year with payment backdated to March 2011, that increment also affected Corp members as Corp member monthly allowance was increased to 18000(minimum wage) plus 10% of minimum wage as allowance ,thus totalling 19800 .
To this extent, I so much believe Nysc members will not only be paid 30000, but also received accumulated arrears as from April 2019 when the bill was assented to law.

Pls authorities should come in and answer this question ooo

You have not only spoken well, it also shows you are also knowledgeable. The originator of the question has also said we should state our source. Well let me tell the originator of the question that the minister of finance sometime in May, when she was giving a press conference on the new minimum wage and consequential adjustment in salaries, clearly stated that the Nysc members where also included in the new minimum wage. She said we are entitled to at least the new minimum wage; she said it could be more, but any increase on top of the 30K will depend on the consequential adjustment in salaries of GL 7-17, which has just been concluded, so we don't know how much they will add on top of the 30K until the Nysc states it. But I believe it should be btw 10-23% of the 30K. It should also be noted that the top up on the 30K is what the Federal govt calls "transportation allowance". For example, in 2011, when the Jonathan govt increased the minimum wage to 18K, the federal govt put transportation allowance at 10% of 18K (1800) making the total allowance to be 19800. Another source that has confirmed that we will receive, at least, the new minimum wage is from the DG Nysc. He made the disclosure in Lagos when he visited the batch B stream ii orientation camp. Also, the immediate past special adviser to Mr President on national assembly matters (senate), Sen Ita Enang as well as Dr Chris Ngigie has also reiterated (@ different fora) governments resolve to pay Nysc members the new minimum wage. So don't worry, I'm very confident that implementation will begin this month (October). What govt is trying to do now (through the National Income Salaries and Wages Commission), is to compute the salaries of all those affected, and after that, a circular will be passed to all ministries, departments and agencies of govt. I believe that one no go pass one week. My biggest fear is the payment of the arrears. Although the ag. Head of the civil service has assured Labour that implementation will begin immediately, I was not to comfortable when she Said arrears will be paid, but she would not talk much about it. Even if arrears will be paid, it will not be at once; it will be paid maybe through 2-3 months. So definitely, NYSC members will get at least 30K

Thankfully, I just got info some minutes ago that the Federal Executive Council in its meeting today, Presided by Vice president Yemi Osinbanjo has gracefully approved that all outstanding arrears arising from the consequential adjustment in the new minimum wage (wef) April 18, be paid on or before 31/12/19. So for sure, not only will the new minimum wage be paid, arrears will be paid also.

Last last, Allowee don gbera, payment of arrears to take effect from April 2019. The implication here is that any corp member that was in service anytime from April 18 2019 will be paid arrears,in other words, if you pass out April 30,2019, yo will be paid one month arrears, the recent batch C stream 1, 2018 that just passed out will be paid accumulated arrears of 5 months. However, I am not sure if the payment will began this month end,that will depend on the efficiency of the ministry of finance, ministry of youth and sport and Nysc itself, however,full payment of the minimum wage must be effected and accumulated arrears paid on or before December 31, 2019
