National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members have expressed disappointment after receiving ₦33,000 for their September allowance, despite an official announcement stating that the monthly stipend would be increased to ₦77,000.
This development has left many corps members confused, as they had expected the new payment structure to take effect immediately.
The Federal Government had earlier confirmed the increase in the monthly allowance for NYSC members from ₦33,000 to ₦77,000 as part of a broader salary adjustment for civil servants. However, no official explanation has been provided as to why the September payment was not adjusted accordingly.
Corps members have taken to social media, raising concerns and seeking clarification from the authorities. The expectation now is that the adjustment will reflect in subsequent payments, but the delay has raised questions about the implementation timeline of the new allowance structure.
