According to him, “This month (January) has already ended, but once the budget is passed. By next month (February), you will start receiving N77,000 instead of the usual N33,000,” he stated.
The NYSC DG, while highlighting that the approval for the new allowance came from the Federal Government, urged corps members to show appreciation by being diligent during their service year.
He also reaffirmed his commitment to corps members’ welfare and security, assuring them they would not be posted to areas experiencing security threats.
“We will not send our corps members to wherever we have challenges of security threats. Wherever we send them, they should be less assured that the place is safe and secured for them to serve,” he said.
