We will show you the NYSC allowance for all States in Nigeria – how much each state government pays NYSC member.
Aside the Federal Government allowance which stood at N33,000, Corps members also receive ‘State allowance’ from the State government.
So, we shall look at the list of States in Nigeria and how much they pay NYSC members.
The amount state governments pay Corps members is a crucial factor that determine people’s choices of states during registration. Of course, no one would like to serve in a place where they will not be paid.
However, it is painful to hear that your colleagues in other states are being paid for the same work you do without pay. See 10 best states to serve in Nigeria as a Corper.
After reading this article, you will have a clear picture of how much ‘Corpers’ are being paid across Nigeria.
How much does NYSC pay Corps members?
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 matters. N33,000 the FG pays to Corps members is not enough to sustain them. Corps members are usually stranded in the middle of the month without food and money. Therefore, paying them state allowance will be a kind of support, and it will 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.
