Corps members across Nigeria have expressed disappointment online after reportedly receiving their usual ₦33,000 allowance, despite widespread reports of an alleged increase to ₦77,000.
Weeks ago, speculation had circulated that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) had raised the monthly stipend for corps members, leading to high expectations of a pay increase.
However, several corps members have taken to social media to share screenshots of their latest payments, which still reflect the previous ₦33,000 allowance.
Images of the ₦33,000 payments have flooded various social media platforms, sparking frustration and confusion among the youth corps members who were hopeful for the higher stipend amidst rising living costs.
