The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has concluded arrangements to increase the monthly allowance of corps members to ₦77,000, in line with the new minimum wage. This announcement was made by the Director General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, during a ceremony in Abuja. Ahmed revealed that the payment of the increased allowance would commence soon, as all necessary arrangements had been finalized. He reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing the welfare and security of corps members, stating that 2025 would be a year of improved benefits for them. The DG made the comment as the NYSC received a donation of a staff bus from Capital Express Insurance Company. The bus is intended to alleviate the transportation challenges faced by NYSC staff in Abuja, particularly in the face of rising fuel and transportation costs. According to Ahmed, the donation would greatly ease the commuting difficulties experienced by NYSC staff and corps members. He expressed his gratitude to Capital Express Insurance Company for their generosity and commitment to supporting the NYSC. The Chief Executive Officer of Capital Express Insurance Company, Mr. Matthew Ogwezhi, stated that the donation was part of the company’s ongoing partnership with the NYSC and its dedication to giving back to society. He emphasized that the bus would significantly reduce the daily transportation burden for NYSC staff.
