The Federal Government has authorized raising the monthly payment for Corps Members from N33,000 to N77,000.
Thepage reported that a statement released on Wednesday evening, Caroline Embu, the Corps’ acting director of information and public relations, stated that this will go into effect in July 2024.
The National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024 was passed, and the rise is in accordance with it, the statement claims. It was disclosed that the NYSC leadership has received a letter dated September 25, 2024, from the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission, which is signed by the Chairman, Ekpo Nta.
