Recall that the NYSC DG, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim on Wednesday disclosed the new figures as increased by the Federal Government.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the Federal government on Friday began the payment of N33,000 monthly allowance to corps members.
Mr Ibrahim confirmed that the sum was approved for the Corps members in line with the new National Minimum Wage review.
Reacting to the development, some Nigerians commended the Federal government for putting smiles on the faces of Corp members.
Some of the ex-corp members hilariously asked if they could serve again while others asked if there will be arrears for old corp members.
