I heard on 4 o'clock network news this evening that the Nysc members' monthly allowances has been increased to 19,800 naira and it will take effect from March 2011. Source: FRCN 4pm news today being monday, 11th july 2011.

Have u heard of that too?. It's true. The present corps members are lucky to have it implemented in their own time.

If they want to help the ynuths, let them pay them N50,000 per month and change their lives, federal govt. has the money.

I also heard it on radio nd i've read it on newspapers. I jst pray they implement it soon bcoz dat's jst how they use to say in Nigeria, 18,000 minimum wages is still onground.

Can it be true, i doubt

Wow dats guud news for the present corps,,,,,,, but is it true dat da batch B 2010 will be paid in arrears !? Tanx.

^^of course, d batch B '10 will get d arrears 4rm March. Its d latest news for corps members.
At least dis would serve as their compensation for d sacrifices they made during d last general election.

its to entice people to serve in the NORTH only to be bombed into oblivion! so much for the raise!

Call me Thomas if you want but until the cash hits my account, I don't believe in that increment talk! The rumor has been around since forever, Trust me.

Good! I hope they keep increasing it year in year out.

Which kind news u dey listen? March 2011 neva pass?

Everyone in my camp is happy about the news. Let's wait till the end of the month though. If implemented, its still an improvement. Just hope the cost of living doesn't increase too.

All these stupid banks in Naija sef, why deduct N200 from a paltry 9750? Why not deduct it from the salaries of NASS members?

Stupid idiotic pple. Rubbish.

Dats good news but if I were u I'll suspend belief untill d cash reflects in the bank

@topic

WoW!!! I wish i could go back and serve *just kidding* I am working class babe. .
Ime so happy that my corper friends won't ask me to share part of my salary with them now that their allawi has increased *hehehehe*

Good news but celebration starts when they pay.

What a pity, after how many years? a graduate is going to be earning less that 20 thousand naira per mnt to serve his/her fatherland for a whole year, d ironical part of it is that it is more than a 100% increase frm the previous pay, whoever said nigeria was blessed. Smh. Corpers are supposed to be paid based on the federal gov standard salary structure for fresh graduate intakes depending on certificate type (bsc, hnd, etc), they even do more work than less qualified officers  where they are posted for primary assignments.

Ok we hear, pay them first, then we confirm the story,

So because of a small change increase, people who used to agitate for the scraping or review of nysc have thrown all these into the ditch and ya'll happy, wow!

goodnews! hw i wish i jst started my service*joking*cos am a BATCH 'C' 2010 corper, 'bout passing out, [color=#990000][/color] but i tell u this a jackpot for GEJ for his re-electn in 2015 or better stil his proposed 'single term of 7years'.

no1 should trade money for light. So corpers can serve in war torn states cos of increment
