The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has announced that corps members will be collecting a new monthly allowance of N77,000 from February 2025.
Speaking to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State, Ahmed stated that the increment has been included in the 2025 Federal Government budget and will take effect once the budget is passed.
“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,” he said.
