Director-General of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Olakunle Oluseye Nafiu has announced that all corps members would be credited with their new monthly allowance of N77,000 effective from March, 2025.

Brig.-Gen. Nafiu said the Scheme and Federal Government are responsive to corps members’ welfare and would continue to ensure that their well-being was accorded maximum priority at all times.

The NYSC DG disclosed this on Thursday while interacting with corps members in Wuse and Garki NYSC Zonal Offices of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.

General Nafiu, who thanked the corps members for their selfless service to the nation, advised them to remain calm, dedicated, focused and disciplined.

He lauded the founding father of the Scheme for conceiving the vision, while advocating that all should rally round the NYSC to fulfill its mandate.

He stated further that management would continue to instill the virtues of patriotism, discipline, self-restraint, good morals, leadership qualities and teamwork in the successive batches of corps members.

“With effect from March, you are going to receive the sum of Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira as your monthly allowance. NYSC is good at record-keeping and l can assure you that your money will be paid. The Nation and the Scheme appreciate you”, he said.
