The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the Federal Government to investigate the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) over the delay in paying corps members the newly approved ₦77,000 monthly allowance.
NANS expressed disappointment that, despite the Federal Government’s approval of the increase from ₦33,000 to ₦77,000, effective July 2024, corps members have yet to receive the new payment.
Responding to the concerns, NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, attributed the delay to the non-release of funds, stating that the scheme is still awaiting financial backing from the government.
