Corpers earn new minimum wage

You're referring to the recent news about the new minimum wage for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members in Nigeria!

As of October 2022, the Federal Government of Nigeria has approved a new minimum wage for NYSC members, also known as "corpers". The new minimum wage is N33,000 (approximately $85 USD) per month.

This increase is a significant improvement from the previous minimum wage of N19,800 (approximately $50 USD) per month, which was in place since 2013. The new wage is expected to improve the living standards of NYSC members, who are mostly young graduates serving their national service in various parts of the country.

The increase in minimum wage is also seen as a way to boost the morale and motivation of NYSC members, who play a crucial role in nation-building and development.
