The Federal Government has approved the increase of corps members’ monthly allowance to N77,000 with effect from July 2024.
According to a statement signed by the NYSC’s Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, on Wednesday, the approval was contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated September 25 2024 and signed by the Chairman, Ekpo Nta in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
Recall that there has been speculations on increase of corpers payment following the signing of the new minimum wage Bill by President Bola Tinubu in July 29, 2024.
However, the NYSC management insisted that the increase in corpers’ allowance could only be determined by the Federal Government.
