ABUJA – The Federal Government has approved an increment in
the monthly allowance of Corps members from N9,775  to
N19,800.
The increment was conveyed in a letter from the Presidency to
the Office of the Director-General of the National Youth Service
Corps, NYSC,  and sent to all state Coordinators of the NYSC.
Tsiga who spoke to newsmen, Monday, in Abuja said “I am
delighted to inform you that The President and Commander-in-
Chief, Goodluck Jonathan  has graciously approved increment in
the Corps members allowances from N9,775.00 to N19,800.00
with effect from March,2011.
” The payment will take effect from March, 2011″ and the 2010
Batch ‘B’ Corps members that have just passed out from the
scheme will therefore be paid in arrears” he said.
“They are serving their fatherland, we are posting them to states
outside their state of origin, nobody gives them anything except
the allowances and it has been stipulated in the law establishing
the NYSC that the Federal, States, Local Government and other
stakeholders should periodically review the allowances of the
corps members”, he said.
He called on states and local governments to emulate the
gesture of the Federal Government and improve on the
allowances, accommodation and other welfare of the corps
members as according to him,” the future of the country are  in
their hands”.
