The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed has said that the Federal Government has approved payment of N77.000 camp allowances to corp members by February, 2025.
The DG also said, corps members won’t be posted to communities experiencing security threats.
He spoke while addressing the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream 11 corps members in Katsina.
He said their allowances has been captured in the 2025 Federal Government’s budget.
According to him: ‘We will not send our corps members to wherever we have security challenges and threats. Wherever we send them they should be less assured that the place is safe and secured for them to serve.
”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.
”The N77,000 monthly allowance was approved by the Federal Government and the corps members are expected to reciprocate the government’s gesture during their service year.”
He further emphasised NYSC’s commitment to the welfare and security of corps members across the country, assuring them that they will not be deployed to security threat communities for their service.
