The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on the Federal Government to probe the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) over its failure to implement the newly approved ₦77,000 monthly allowance for corps members.
NANS expressed frustration that despite the Federal Government’s approval of the increment from ₦33,000 to ₦77,000—effective July 2024—the NYSC has yet to commence payments.
The Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, attributed the delay to the non-release of funds.
