The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has concluded plans to roll out a new monthly allowance of N77,000 for corps members across Nigeria.
This was disclosed by the Director General of NYSC, Brigadier General YD Ahmed, in a statement issued on Tuesday by Caroline Embu, Acting Director of Information and Public Relations.
The statement read, “Corps members across Nigeria will soon begin receiving a new monthly allowance of N77,000.”
Ahmed emphasised his administration’s commitment to improving corps members’ welfare, assuring them that the payment of the increased allowance would begin shortly.
During an event in Abuja, Ahmed also announced the donation of a bus by Capital Express Insurance Company to address transportation challenges faced by corps members and NYSC staff in the Federal Capital Territory.
He expressed appreciation to the insurance company for its continuous support, acknowledging the longstanding partnership between the two organisations.
Matthew Ogwezhi, CEO of Capital Express Insurance, noted that the donation was part of the benefits of the collaboration, aimed at strengthening the NYSC scheme.
