The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has said that corps members will start receiving ₦77,000 from February 2025.
The NYSC DG disclosed this while speaking to the 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream II corps members in Katsina State.
Ahmed confirmed that the increment which has been approved by the Federal Government and included in the 2025 budget, 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.
The DG advised corps members to shun every form of misconduct and other negative behaviours that can jeopardize their future ambitions.
He said diligence, honesty, perseverance and faith in God are prerequisites to a prosperous life.
He equally advised the Corps Members to respect the cultures and traditions of their host communities and quickly integrate with them after leaving the Orientation Camps.
