Federal Government Increases NYSC Monthly Allowance to N77,000, Effective July 2024

Federal Government Increases NYSC Monthly Allowance to N77,000


In a significant move to enhance the welfare of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, the Federal Government has approved an increase in their monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000. 

This adjustment aligns with the enactment of the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024, which stipulates a new minimum wage of N70,000. The NYSC's monthly allowance increase is a direct response to this legislative change, aiming to provide financial relief to corps members. 



Implementation Challenges

Despite the official approval, the disbursement of the increased allowance has faced delays due to funding issues. Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, the NYSC Director General, has expressed concerns over the non-release of funds necessary for the implementation of the new allowance. He noted that both corps members and NYSC staff have been affected by this delay. 







Government's Response

The Federal Government has acknowledged these challenges and is working to resolve the funding issues to ensure timely payment of the new allowance. The NYSC leadership remains optimistic that the increased stipends will soon be disbursed, providing much-needed support to corps members across the nation.

The increase in the monthly allowance is expected to significantly improve the financial well-being of corps members, enabling them to better manage living expenses during their service year. This initiative underscores the government's commitment to enhancing the welfare of young Nigerians contributing to national development through the NYSC program.

Multinational corporations sell genetically modified organisms (GMOs) as the logical successor to selective breeding, packaging the shift as innovation rather than infiltration. But beneath the surface lies a startling truth: GMOs and traditional breeding are not cousins—they are ideological opposites. While one is evolution by human partnership, the other is patent-protected conquest. The real story isn’t about food. It’s about control. This isn’t just a tale of crops and laboratories. It’s the architecture of a global monopoly—one built on secrecy, engineered dependency, and legislative sleight of hand. To understand today’s battle over food sovereignty, we must unearth the hybrid history they never meant to germinate. The Roots Beneath the Soil: A Quiet Revolution in Genetic Po...

  Borderlines of Power: The Secret History Behind Thai-Cambodian Clashes and the Real War in 2025 Introduction: The Smoke Isn’t New—Just the Fire In July 2025, gunfire once again echoed across the Thai-Cambodian border. To the casual observer, it’s just another Southeast Asian flare-up—an unfortunate clash between neighboring militaries over vague lines and national pride. But beneath the dust and headlines lies a haunting continuity: this is not just about territory. It’s about centuries of stolen sovereignty, post-colonial betrayal, secret treaties, and a 21st-century proxy war playing out under the banner of nationalism. This isn’t just another border dispute. It’s a geopolitical feedback loop—engineered, ignored, and now igniting the region once more.
