After several months of delay, members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) may have a reason to smile as the Federal Government on Monday promised to pay the backlog of the new ₦77,000 monthly allowance.
MAD reports that on the 25th of September, 2024, the federal government announced an increase in the monthly stipend for serving corps members from N33,000 to N77,000, effective from July 2024.
However, serving corps members and those in the scheme when the increment was announced in September 2024 will receive a backdated payment.
The Minister of Youth Development Ayodele Olawande gave this assurance when he was featured on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
