He explained that the raise, from the current N33,000, is part of the 2025 Federal Government budget and will take effect once the budget is passed.
Ahmed reaffirmed the government’s commitment to the welfare and security of corps members, urging them to show dedication in their service. He assured them that no corps member would be deployed to areas with security risks.
