Aside the Federal Government allowance which stands at N33,000, Corps members also receive ‘State allowance’ from the State government where they are serving. Here we will show you the NYSC allowance for all States in Nigeria (Corps Members’ allowance in all states).
The amount state governments pay Corps members is a crucial factor that determine prospective corps members’ choices of states during NYSC registration, since no one would like to serve in a place where they will receive little or no state allowance.
It is painful for your colleagues in other states being paid for the same work you do in another state without pay. You can also check 10 best states to serve in Nigeria as a Corper.
How much does NYSC pay Corps members in Nigeria?
The Federal Govt of Nigeria through NYSC pays N33,000 to every Corps Member regardless to where they are serving. Aside that, there may be other compensations which has nothing to do with NYSC. Such compensations include, State allowance, PPA allowance, and so on.
Does it matter for State Govt to pay Corps members?
Yes, it does matter, the N33,000 FG pays to Corps members is not enough to sustain them throughout the month. Many Corps members usually go ‘stranded’ in the middle of the month without food and money. Therefore, paying them state allowance will be a kind of support, and it would go a long way to encourage them.
How much is the NYSC State allowance?
There is no fixed amount for this. Some states pay, while some do not pay, and some pay higher than others. Also states that pay may stop paying and states that don’t pay may start paying, especially when there is change in the government.
