The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu, has confirmed that all Corps members will start receiving their revised monthly allowance of Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira from March 2025.
General Nafiu emphasises that the Scheme and the Federal Government place a high priority on the welfare of Corps members and are still dedicated to meeting their requirements as soon as possible in a statement released today during his visit to the NYSC Zonal Offices in Wuse and Garki, Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
General Nafiu expresses appreciation for the Corps members’ dedication and selfless service to the nation. He encourages them to stay focused, disciplined, and committed to the values of the Scheme.
“The NYSC is an essential program that builds bridges and exposes young graduates to different cultures, enriching their personal and professional growth. Our management remains committed to instilling qualities of patriotism, discipline, leadership, and teamwork in every batch,” Nafiu says.
He assures Corps members that with the new monthly allowance of Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira, all payments will be accurately processed and credited, highlighting that the Scheme is efficient in record-keeping.
“You will receive your N77,000 monthly allowance starting from March. Rest assured, your payments will be made, and the nation appreciates your service,” he adds.
