Corpers allowance news

You're referring to the news about the allowance for Corpers (National Youth Service Corps, NYSC) in Nigeria!

As of 2022, the NYSC allowance for Corpers in Nigeria is N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira) per month. This is the current allowance paid to Corpers by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

However, it's worth noting that the allowance has been a subject of controversy and debate in recent years, with many Corpers calling for an increase in the allowance to reflect the rising cost of living in the country.

In fact, in 2020, the NYSC Director-General, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, announced that the Federal Government had approved an increase in the allowance for Corpers from N19,800 to N30,000 per month. The increase was seen as a welcome development by many Corpers, who had been struggling to make ends meet on the previous allowance.

Despite the increase, many Corpers still feel that the allowance is not sufficient to cover their expenses, particularly in cities like Lagos and Abuja, where the cost of living is relatively high.

It's worth noting that the NYSC allowance is not the only source of income for Corpers. Many Corpers also receive stipends from their employers, as well as other forms of financial support from their families and friends.

Overall, while the NYSC allowance is an important source of income for Corpers, it's clear that many Corpers are still struggling to make ends meet, and there is a need for further increases in the allowance to reflect the rising cost of living in Nigeria.
