The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a mandatory one-year service program for all Nigerian graduates under the age of 30. During their service year, corps members are posted to states other than their home states to contribute to the development of the country.
NYSC corps members are entitled to a monthly allowance from the federal government. However, some states also pay additional allowances to corps members posted to their states.
Federal Government is currently paying N33,000 for NYSC monthly allowance. However, the amount each State Government pays to Corpers vary.
