The commencement of the payment fulfills an earlier promise tied to the recent upward review of corps members’ monthly allowance from N33,000 to N77,000.
The payment applies to those who completed their service before the new allowance took effect earlier this year.
Former corps members have taken to X (formerly Twitter) to confirm receipt of the payment, expressing their gratitude and relief.
One user, @Kingpin_black1, posted: “Thank you, NYSC. Thank you, President Tinubu. Nigeria will be great again.”
Another user, @ph land. NYSC no carry last. God bless Nigeria.”
The payment, widely seen as a fulfillment of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration’s earlier pledge, has sparked excitement online, with many praising the move as a sign of renewed trust and accountability
