The Federal Government has resumed payment of arrears to NYSC members, releasing the second tranche of the N44,000 owed to them.
The disbursement, which started Wednesday, follows the first payment on June 3, 2025, and stems from the newly approved N77,000 monthly allowance. NYSC DG Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu earlier assured that both serving and recently discharged corps members would benefit.
“Once funds are released to us to offset the arrears, we will pay them. Even our corps members who passed out recently will benefit. We have their bank details,” he said.
He stressed that the government remained committed to its promises, adding that Nigerians “should not fret” because it is responsive to their needs.
The latest disbursement, covering the period from July 2024 to March 2025, comes after months of frustration over delayed payments.
