NYSC Commences Payment of ₦77,000 Arrears to Corps Members The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has initiated the disbursement of ₦77,000 arrears to corps members, fulfilling the Federal Government’s commitment to align their allowances with the new minimum wage.  Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, Director-General of NYSC, confirmed that the payment process has begun for both current and recently discharged corps members. This follows the government’s approval to increase the monthly allowance from ₦33,000 to ₦77,000, as stipulated by the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.   While the commencement of payments marks a significant milestone, some former corps members have raised concerns about delays in receiving their arrears. The NYSC assures all eligible individuals that efforts are underway to ensure prompt and complete disbursement.  This development is a positive step towards improving the welfare of corps members, enabling them to better transition into post-service life and contribute meaningfully to the nation’s growth. #NYSCArrears #CorpsMembersAllowance #MinimumWageUpdate #YouthEmpowerment
