The federal government as taken a good step, by improving NYSC's monthly package. This improved incentive will motivate corps members to put in their best when serving the nation.
Members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) serving across the nation will now earn an improved package monthly, as the Federal Government has approved the sum of N19,800 as monthly allowance for them.
The new allowance, with its approval date backdated to March 1, 2011, increased the previous allowance of N9,750 by N10,050, while arrears would be paid to corps members who served within the approved period.
The Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga, who made this known in Abuja, on Monday, said he had been in the forefront of improved welfare package for the corps members.
"The Federal Government has graciously approved a new package for the corps members. From now, serving members would be entitled to N19,800 monthly. l am very grateful to President Goodluck Jonathan for this kind gesture," Tsiga said.
