The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members were paid N33,000 for the month of September, sparking widespread disappointment and confusion among corps members. This payment comes despite the official increase in allowance to N77,000, as announced by the Nigerian government earlier this year.
The disparity between the announced increment and the actual payment has left many corps members wondering why the increase has not been implemented. The N77,000 allowance was meant to be a welcome development, considering the current economic realities in the country.
The NYSC has not provided an official explanation for the discrepancy. Corps members are calling on the authorities to clarify the situation and ensure that the increased allowance is implemented without further delay.
As the country continues to grapple with economic challenges, the NYSC allowance remains a vital source of income for many young Nigerians. The delay in implementing the increased allowance has significant implications for the livelihoods of corps members.
The development has sparked heated discussions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing solidarity with the affected corps members and demanding prompt action from the government
