<p>The National Youth Service Corps <strong>(NYSC)</strong> has officially commenced the long-awaited payment of N44,000 arrears to corps members.</p>
<p>The NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, confirmed that <strong>payments</strong> have started and are being processed in batches.</p>
<p>This move comes as part of the Federal Government’s efforts to fully implement the new minimum wage and honour its earlier promise to corps members.</p>
<p>The new allowance an upgrade from the former N33,000 is in line with the N70,000 minimum wage plus an additional 10%, which was approved in July 2024.</p>
<p>However, the actual payment didn’t begin until March 2025, leaving a backlog of unpaid months.</p>
<p>Brig. Gen. Nafiu, speaking at the Batch A 2025 Pre-Mobilisation Workshop in Abuja, assured both serving and recently discharged corps members that no one would be left out.</p>
<p>The N44,000 arrears being paid cover the difference between the old and new allowances for the period from July 2024 to March 2025.</p>
<p>The development has sparked joy among corps members nationwide.</p>
