Corps Members Lament Receiving N33k instead of N77k

The members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have expressed their displeasure after receiving alerts of N33,000 instead of N77,000 announced by the Federal Government.

Recall that the Federal Government on September 25, 2024, officially raised the monthly allowance for Corps members, effective from July 2024.

This adjustment aligns with the National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Act 2024, which will substantially enhance the welfare package for corps members.

However, on October 2, 2024, the internet and specifically X ( Twitter ) is left buzzing with federal government’s refusal to fulfill their end of the bargain.

Corp members have expressed displeasure, sharing screenshots of the 33k payment as opposed to the promised 77k, with some going as far as calling the government’s strategy ‘propaganda’

@Akureketical on X said; Federal government this is not our agreement o, You promised 77kKindwest wrote : APC is known for lies .. so na 33k NYSC finally pay corpers ??Lets continue watching big brother and act like theres no problem in this country

Another X user, Miss Oluchi wrote; “They have started paying corp members , guess how much ? 33k . This government really thinks propaganda will save them.”

@MDAfrica95 reacted; “NYSC Believe in APC at your own peril. I told my friend last week that a typical politician, like Tinubu, an incumbent president like him can never make a good president because deception is part of his game. The incumbent president has duped all NYSC corps members 😀😀😀”Na33k.”
