The Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced payment of N44,000 minimum wage arrears to former members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
This development follows the recent upward review of corps members’ monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000, as part of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration’s economic reforms.
The arrears are being paid to ex-corps members who completed their service before the new allowance took effect earlier in the year.
Reports of the payment have surfaced across social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), with many former corps members confirming receipt and expressing their appreciation.
One user, @Kingpin_black1, tweeted: “Thank you, NYSC. Thank you, President Tinubu. Nigeria will be great again.”
Another user, @pharmacist_shezzy, posted: “44k don land. NYSC no carry last. God bless Nigeria.”
Similarly, @ifeoluwa_X shared: “Just got my alert. I almost deleted my NYSC account. Thank you, FG.”
The payment has been widely praised as a fulfillment of President Tinubu’s promise and a sign of renewed trust and accountability from the government.
It also comes after the federal government pledged to increase corps members’ welfare packages to reflect the economic realities in the country.
