The federal government has approved the increase in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members' monthly payment from N33,000 to N77,000.
The upward review will take effect from July 2024.
In a statement on Wednesday, The NYSC's acting spokesperson, Caroline Embu, stated that the recent development aligns with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024.
“This was contained in a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission, dated 25th September 2024 and signed by the Chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta,” the statement reads.”
