The Federal Government has approved the increase of corps members’ monthly allowance to N77,000 with effect from July 2024.

NYSC’s Acting Director, Information and Public Relations, Caroline Embu, revealed this in a statement late Wednesday.

Before the increase, the monthly allowance for corps members was N33,000.
