The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced that corps members under the national service scheme will start receiving a monthly allowance of N77,000.
In a statement published on NYSC’s digital platforms, the scheme indicated that this recent development was communicated via a letter from the National Income, Wages and Salaries Commission, signed by its Chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta.
“The Federal Government has approved the increment of corps members’ monthly allowance to Seventy-Seven Thousand Naira (N77,000), effective from July 2024.”
“This is in line with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act,” the statement reads in part.
Trust TV previously reported that President Tinubu approved N70,000 as the minimum wage for the country in July as part of measures to cushion the effects of subsidy removal, as demanded by the organized labour.
