The approval was officially communicated through a letter from the National Salaries, Incomes, and Wages Commission, dated September 25, 2024, and signed by its Chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta. Despite the announcement, corps members only received ₦33,000 for their September allowance, raising concerns and confusion among them.
In an interview with the BBC Hausa service, Brigadier General Ahmed explained that although the increase has been approved, the government has yet to release the funds required to implement the new allowance. He reassured corps members that the NYSC is working closely with the relevant authorities to expedite the release of the funds and ensure the new allowance is implemented soon.
He stated, “Not only the corps members, but even our staff members’ salaries were increased about four to five months ago, yet it has not been implemented. We are hopeful that the new pay will be implemented soon, but the funds have not been released to us yet.”
Ahmed also mentioned that although there is no specific date for the disbursement of the new allowance, they have been assured that the increase, effective from July 29, 2024, will be honored.
