NYSC's Feeding Budget Increased for Corps Members in 2027

The Federal Government has approved an increase in the feeding budget allocated for members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) during their orientation program, with the new budget expected to take effect in 2027. Brigadier General Olakunle Nafiu, the Director-General of the NYSC, disclosed this information while addressing corps members of the 2026 Batch C Stream One at the orientation camp located in Obubra, Cross River State.

Nafiu explained that the government had approved an upward review of the feeding allowance for corps members during the orientation exercise and that the Budget Office had been informed of the adjustment ahead of its planned implementation next year. He also advised corps members to manage their finances wisely, encouraging them to save part of their earnings and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Additionally, Nafiu warned against taking unnecessary risks while traveling, particularly at night, and provided safety tips for corps members during their service year.
