New NYSC Allowance: Buhari Approves N33,000 Per Month

Published on

  • President Muhammadu Buhari approves the payment of N33,000 as monthly allowance for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members.
  • Director-General (DG) of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, made this announcement
  • Payment to commence starting this year

Reports reaching us confirm that the Federal Government of Nigeria has approved the payment of N33,000 naira per month to corp members.

NYSC DG, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, is said to have made this known during a session with some corps members in Bauchi.

However, he didn’t give a specific date or month that the payment will commence.

Although not as mouth-watering as many would want, this increase will go a long way in helping corp members.

He explained that the N33,000 allowance for corps members was approved in line with the implementation of the new National Minimum Wage by the Federal Government.

“Contrary to the various amounts being circulated on the social media, the sum of thirty-three thousand Naira had been approved as the new rate,” Ibrahim said.

According to him, provision had been made for the new allowance in the year 2020 Budget, and he further noted that payment would commence as soon as funds are released by the appropriate authorities.

In September 2019, the DG stated that he expected an increase in line with an increase in the national minimum wage.

In his exact words, “Your monthly allowance would be increased immediately the Federal Government starts the payment of the new minimum wage to all public servants nationwide.”

He made this declaration while addressing corp members at the NYSC orientation camp in Iyana-Ipaja, Lagos.
