FG begins payment of N44,000 minimum wage arrears to ex-corps members

  • Starting in June 2025, the Nigerian Federal Government began disbursing outstanding payments of 44,000 Naira related to the revised minimum wage to ex-NYSC members who served before the new allowance was introduced.
  • This payment follows President Tinubu's September 2024 pledge to align corps members' stipends with the newly approved N77,000 monthly allowance.
  • The outstanding payments relate to the timeframe between July 2024 and March 2025, impacting both current corps members and those who recently completed their service, all of whom had previously been paid the monthly allowance of N33,000.
  • NYSC Director-General Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu confirmed the payments, stating "We have their bank details," and reassured of ongoing disbursements.
  • Former corps members expressed gratitude and excitement online, viewing the arrears payment as a fulfillment of the government's promise and a sign of renewed trust.
