Corps members have taken to social media to vent their frustrations:

"Still on ₦33,000 after all the promises. Is this a joke?" - @CorpsMember2024

"Minimum wage is ₦77,000, yet we're paid ₦33,000. Where's the increase?" - @NYSCConcerns

"Na33k, yet they expect us to survive and serve the nation?" - @ServingCorp

In 2019, Nigeria's Federal Government increased the minimum wage to ₦30,000. Consequently, corps members anticipated an adjusted allowance of ₦77,000. However, the September payment contradicts these expectations.

Nigerians sympathize with corps members, emphasizing the need for fair compensation:

"Support our corps members. ₦33,000 is inadequate." - @NigerianYouth

"Government, honor your promises. Pay corps members ₦77,000." - @ConcernedCitizen
