The Federal Government has approved an increase in corps members’ monthly allowance to N77,000 with effect from July 2024.
Caroline Embu, the NYSC’s Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, revealed this in a statement yesterday.
The approval comes in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated September 25 2024 and signed by the Chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta, in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
It will also be recalled that President Bola Tinubu signed the new Minimum Wage Bill into law on July 29, 2024, which notes N70,000 as minimum wage.
Before now, corps members were receiving a monthly allowance of N33,000.
