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
The Federal Government increased corps members’ allowance from ₦33,000 to ₦77, 000 in September 2024. Despite repeated promises and backlash since the increment, the new rate is yet to be implemented.
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.
“You saw the new DG saying that you will get it, and they’re asking him a question ‘What about those that are going out now, are they going to receive it [backlog]?’ He said ‘We have your details’,” the minister said
“The backlog, we will work on it and make sure it is paid. It may not be immediate but it will happen,” Olawande assured.
