of the National Youth Service Corps have expressed their disapproval of the Federal Government’s persistent failure to implement the payment of the N77,000 allowance.

The Federal Government had approved an increase in the corps ’ monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000, effective July 2024.

In the same year, the Director-General of the NYSC, Brig. Gen. Yushau Ahmed stated that the new allowance was implemented due to the non-release of funds.

The DG later announced that corps would start receiving the N77,000 in February 2025.

Despite the official announcement, findings by Sunday PUNCH revealed that the NYSC has yet to commence payment of the N77,000.

Many corps also told our correspondent that they received only N33,000 for their February allowance on Friday.

A corps member serving in Abia State accused the Federal Government of insincerity regarding the payment of the N77,000 allowance.

The corps member, who spoke with Sunday PUNCH on condition of anonymity because corps are not allowed to talk to the media, lamented that the N33,000 allowance was insufficient.

She said, “The N33,000 is not enough for us. The PPA where we are posted doesn’t provide accommodation; we have to handle that ourselves. The economic situation of the country is not new to anybody. Feeding is another issue in an unfamiliar place. It’s nearly impossible to survive on N33,000 a month. PPAs don’t pay well; some pay as little as N4,000. Imagine surviving on N37,000 a month when you add the N4,000.

“Things are very expensive. I haven’t even included transportation costs. In the fellowship house where I’m staying, we contribute for food, and after that, one is left with a meagre amount. I haven’t even mentioned other bills that have to be paid. The money is very poor, and the Federal Government keeps promising and failing us. This is very bad.”

Another corps member serving in Osun expressed dissatisfaction with the Federal Government over the delay in paying the new allowance.

She said, “The Federal Government should do something; this N33,000 is insufficient. After calculating my expenses, I see that I spend over N70,000 a month. The money I spend on transportation alone is over N12,000 monthly, excluding the days I go for CDS. I had to call my mother to ask for because this monthly allowance is inadequate. One cannot survive on this unless one is ready to suffer.”

Also, a corps member serving in Lagos expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, “I don’t know how they expect us to survive on N33,000 when there is so much hardship. They keep promising N77,000, yet we have not seen anything.”

The Director of Communication of the NYSC, Carol Embu, neither answered calls nor responded to a text message sent to her when our correspondent reached out for comment on the matter.

However, a senior official of the NYSC, who requested anonymity, confirmed that the scheme had yet to commence the N77,000 payment.

“We are yet to start payment for the new allowance,” he said.

Federal government na scammer


Since Kwara state refuse to develop, make dem share the local governments between oyo, osun and Niger state.

The shithole is too backward for a state created in 1957

My thoughts are that their allowances would've been made top priority considering the fact that most of them are serving away from home and in some cases, hostile environments.
With the recent spate of kidnapping of Corp , they've really become endangered in the service of their fatherland.

Thieffnubu's led FG na scam.

God will see corpers through......

Not easy to leave your state of residence/origin to a different state with different culture and way of doing things and even having to experience communication challenges and yet you get to be paid peanuts to survive with the harsh economy...

you forget steady light

With the best will in the world, you don see the salary and emoluments of the FG, most President or should I say all are so taken aback when they see it hence the need to purge the system for ghost workers has to be ongoing. Bet when they first agreed they did not factor in the Corpers. Sourcing the commitment is not Gbague.

Enriching oneself from the undemocratic actions of IBB and Abacha and then presenting yourself as the saviour of democracy and the best thing since sliced bread is the tactics of a Gbajue Obi.

We dey. People with integrity are ever ready. I am not even an any party kind of person. I just use common sense to encourage anyone in power cos I know as he be when one deals with our people.

APC was quick in increasing fuel pump price, electricity tariffs which have had multiplier and ripple effect on agricultural produces,telecommunication,education,bank charges, transportation cost and exchange rates but slow in mitigating these effects.
