Brigadier General Yusha’u Ahmed, the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has promised serving corps members that their monthly allowances will be increased once the new minimum wage for civil servants is implemented.
This information was made known when he addressed corps members at the Dakingari Orientation Camp in Kebbi State and later at the Wamakko Orientation Camp in Sokoto State.
General Ahmed noted the significant contributions of corps members towards the socio-economic development of the country, stressing that their selfless acts are extremely important to note and appreciate. He encouraged them to use their service year to acquire new skills and plan for success after it.
In addition, the NYSC Director-General underscored the importance of corps members embracing the organization’s entrepreneurial development and skill acquisition programs, which equip them with vocational skills aimed at promoting self-reliance.
This announcement comes after the Federal government and the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) pegged the new minimum wage for Nigerian civil servants at ₦70,000.
