The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General YD Ahmed, has announced that Corps Members will soon see an increase in their monthly allowance.
This change will happen when Civil Servants begin receiving their new minimum wage, which was recently approved by the Federal Government.
General Ahmed made this promise while speaking to Corps Members at the Kebbi State Orientation Camp in Dakingari and the Sokoto State Orientation Camp in Wamakko.
He praised their contributions to the country’s development and encouraged them to use their service year to improve themselves and plan for future success.
He also recommended that Corps Members take advantage of the NYSC Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development programme to learn vocational skills.
These skills will help them become self-reliant and potentially create jobs for others, rather than just looking for employment.
General Ahmed assured Corps Members that they would not be posted to areas where their safety cannot be guaranteed and urged them to remain vigilant about their security.
