No Idea When Nigerian Govt Will Begin Payment Of N77,000 Increased Allowance To Corps Members —NYSC

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said it cannot say when the directive for the payment of the N77,000 allowance newly approved for corps members will be implemented.

A press statement issued by the agency’s Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, in September, said corps members’ monthly allowance was now pegged at N77,000, up from the previous N33,000.

The statement said the increment would be effective from July 2024, in accordance with Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.


However, SaharaReporters gathered that President Bola Tinubu’s administration later surprisingly paid corps members their old monthly allowance of N33,000 for September, despite the recent approval to increase it to N77,000.

“They have not paid but the people around me who were paid got 33k (N33,000) instead of the N77,000 promised,” a corps member said.

Speaking on the issue, NYSC Public Relations Officer, Caroline Embu, in a telephone conversation with SaharaReporters on Friday morning, explained that the delay in the implementation of the increased allowance is from the government.

Caroline said: “It is a process. Everything is a process. After making the pronouncement, the government has to work on it to be able to pay. It is not as if it is automatic (immediately implemented) like that.


“If you remember even this minimum wage that we are talking about, has been implemented since when (without implementation)? It is the same thing with NYSC corps members.

“I can’t say (if it is going to be implemented this month (October)). This is because the payment is done by the Federal Government, not NYSC. We don't know when it is going to be implemented, just like everybody is waiting for the minimum wage.”

Dem don post them . NYSC member’s should wait for December 😎😎😎😎

APC supporters only know how to push propaganda that is dead on arrival, but when it is time to answer serious questions about the party's incompetence they will only respond with "tor". Tor? Like what exactly is your value to mankind? Just existing and occupying space while posting "tor" up and down

What will know is that soon Youth Corpers will be paid 77k, it mustn't be your set. Just chill biko.

At least, there's a confirmation that they will start paying this anytime from now, thats a positives on its own

The hope alone is mind-refreshing and spirit uplifting

Under Buhari, I don't think he kept copers waiting for this long before he increased and start paying copers 33k
